As a note: a fancier version of this might do things like return Helvetica Neue for Helvetica if Helvetica isn't present, and it might also want to be case-insensitive?

Additionally, it looks like we aren't using this check? If we don't find the font we should return None.

What check do you mean? I can add the Helvetica -> Helvetica Neue check if thats what you mean.

What I mean is that we're looking at the families to see if family_name exists, but we're still always returning Some from this function.

We may also want to keep around a HashSet of family names so that we aren't doing a linear search each time, but that can be future work.

Just for fun here are some useful guidelines on font matching: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-3/#font-matching-algorithm

I feel really stupid now. I just noticed this as well while looking at the code again.

As for the matching, I am honestly not sure how I would go about implementing that. Stripping away all the stuff we dont have/need, im left with the only restriction being "a case insensitive match". it should be easy to match case insensitively, but that doesnt solve the Helvetica -> Helvetica Neue match you wanted. I could check for substrings, I think thats easiest. It wont match the other way around, but we could check vise-versa as well?

There exists a function in pango for matching, I just use that.

Is this a change you're going to make, or is it in the current version? I didn't see it.

I currently made a change so that it uses the pango matching function.

(the better_match function)

Some(FontFamily::new_unchecked(family_name))
