# fcft\_destroy(3)

free fcft\_font objects

## NAME

fcft\_destroy - free fcft\_font objects

## SYNOPSIS

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

**void fcft\_destroy(struct fcft\_font \****font***);**

## DESCRIPTION

**fcft\_destroy**() frees the **fcft\_font** object *font*, which must have been created with **fcft\_from\_name**() or **fcft\_clone**().

After calling **fcft\_destroy**(), *font* can no longer be used, and all references to **fcft\_glyph** objects (retrieved with **fcft\_codepoint\_rasterize**()) are now invalid.

*font* may be NULL, in which case **fcft\_destroy**() is a no-op.

## RETURN VALUE

None
