  • A thin wrapper around the face loader functions registered with HarfBuzz. If loader_name is NULL or the empty string, the first available loader is used.

      A font filename

    • index: number

      The index of the face within the file

    • Optionalloader_name: string

      The name of the loader to use, or NULL
