# FcConfigSetCurrent(3)

Set configuration as default

## NAME

FcConfigSetCurrent - Set configuration as default

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<fontconfig/fontconfig.h\>**

**FcBool FcConfigSetCurrent (FcConfig \****config***);**

## DESCRIPTION

Sets the current default configuration to *config*.  Implicitly calls FcConfigBuildFonts if necessary, and FcConfigReference() to inrease the reference count in *config* since 2.12.0, returning FcFalse if that call fails.
