The "fc-match" command in Linux is used to match a font pattern against the available fonts in the system. It helps in finding the closest matching font file based on the given pattern.
In this specific case, the command is "fc-match -s '${DejaVu Serif}'".
Here's the breakdown:
- "fc-match" is the command itself.
- "-s" is an option or flag used to specify the font style. It is followed by the font pattern '${DejaVu Serif}'.
- '${DejaVu Serif}' is the font pattern or name of the font we are looking for.
When this command is executed, it searches for the font file that best matches the specified pattern '${DejaVu Serif}'. The result will be the closest matching font file found in the system, along with some additional information like the family, style, and filename of the matched font.
