Documentation for get_first_char

[Yardie-]

In the documentation for get_first_char it states

        This function is used to return the first character code in the current
        charmap of a given face. It also returns the corresponding glyph index.

        :return: Glyph index of first character code. 0 if charmap is empty.

        **Note**:

          You should use this function with get_next_char to be able to parse
          all character codes available in a given charmap. The code should look
          like this:

          Note that 'agindex' is set to 0 if the charmap is empty. The result
          itself can be 0 in two cases: if the charmap is empty or if the value 0
          is the first valid character code.

There is no example.

There is. Look at ftdump.py in the examples directory.

You didn't even read the issue then you close it.

That is not what the documentation says it references it in get_next_char as

You should use this function with FT_Get_First_Char to walk over all character codes available in a given charmap. See the note for this function for a simple code example.

As I said before in get_first_char it specifically says.

The code should look like this: Then nothing

So you think it's reasonable that someone searches through 700K in 39 files for three lines of code rather than fixing the documentation. That's rather strange

This is an open-source project, worked on by volunteers. If you think the documentation is incomplete/wrong, please feel free to improve it with a pull.

I assume that paragraph was copied from upstream (ie freetype) with the c code inline snipplet deleted. That said, your basic assertion was incorrect - there is an example, and in quite an obvious place too. Besides, you can do search on github's project page on a per repo basis, which would locate it immediately.
