std::string	GetFontConfigFontPath (const std::string_view fontName, bool bold, bool italic)

Detailed Description

This class initializes and destroys the FontConfig library.

As initializing fontconfig can take a long time, you can create a wrapper by yourself to cache initialization of fontconfig.

This class is reference counted. The last user of the fontconfig library will destroy the fontconfig handle.

The fontconfig library is initialized on first used (lazy loading!)
