Summary

  • Adds a clear description at the top of README explaining what fontconfig is and what it does
  • Helps readers understand the library's purpose before installation and usage

Context

The current README only states that fontconfig-py is "Python bindings to fontconfig" without explaining what fontconfig itself does. This can be confusing for users unfamiliar with fontconfig.

Changes

Added a "What is fontconfig?" section that explains:

  • Fontconfig is a library for font configuration and access on Unix systems
  • It helps locate installed fonts and select the best match based on criteria
  • It eliminates the need for hardcoded font paths by querying the system font database

🤖 Generated with Claude Code
