Subject: [PATCH 4/5] lib/fonts: Add font_glyph_cursor() helper
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 11:25:22 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911094518.78093-5-tzimmermann@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260911094518.78093-1-tzimmermann@suse.de>

The new helper font_glyph_cursor() fills a glyph with a cursor pattern.
As with the font_glyph_rotate_*() helpers, the caller has to provide the
output memory.
