XFontsOfFontSet(3X11)     XLIB FUNCTIONS    XFontsOfFontSet(3X11)


NAME
       XFontsOfFontSet, XBaseFontNameListOfFontSet, XLocaleOf-
       FontSet, XContextDependentDrawing - obtain fontset infor-
       mation

SYNTAX
       int XFontsOfFontSet(fontset, fontstructlistreturn,
       fontnamelistreturn)
              XFontSet fontset;
              XFontStruct ***fontstructlistreturn;
              char ***fontnamelistreturn;

       char *XBaseFontNameListOfFontSet(fontset)
             XFontSet fontset;

       char *XLocaleOfFontSet(fontset)
             XFontSet fontset;

       Bool XContextDependentDrawing(fontset)
             XFontSet fontset;

ARGUMENTS
       fontset  Specifies the font set.

       fontnamelistreturn
                 Returns the list of font names.

       fontstructlistreturn
                 Returns the list of font structs.

DESCRIPTION
       The XFontsOfFontSet function returns a list of one or more
       XFontStructs and font names for the fonts used by the Xmb
       and Xwc layers, for the given font set.  A list of point-
       ers to the XFontStruct structures is returned to
       font_struct_list_return.  A list of pointers to null-
       terminated fully specified font name strings in the locale
       of the font set is returned to font_name_list_return.  The
       font_name_list order corresponds to the font_struct_list
       order.  The number of XFontStruct structures and font
       names is returned as the value of the function.

       Because it is not guaranteed that a given character will
       be imaged using a single font glyph, there is no provision
       for mapping a character or default string to the font
       properties, font ID, or direction hint for the font for
       the character.  The client may access the XFontStruct list
       to obtain these values for all the fonts currently in use.

       It is not required that fonts be loaded from the server at
       the creation of an XFontSet.  Xlib may choose to cache
       font data, loading it only as needed to draw text or com-
       pute text dimensions.  Therefore, existence of the
       per_char metrics in the XFontStruct structures in the

       XFontStructSet is undefined.  Also, note that all proper-
       ties in the XFontStruct structures are in the STRING
       encoding.

       The XFontStruct and font name lists are owned by Xlib and
       should not be modified or freed by the client.  They will
       be freed by a call to XFreeFontSet with the associated
       XFontSet.  Until freed, its contents will not be modified
       by Xlib.

       The XBaseFontNameListOfFontSet function returns the origi-
       nal base font name list supplied by the client when the
       XFontSet was created.  A null-terminated string containing
       a list of comma-separated font names is returned as the
       value of the function.  Whitespace may appear immediately
       on either side of separating commas.

       If XCreateFontSet obtained an XLFD name from the font
       properties for the font specified by a non-XLFD base name,
       the XBaseFontNameListOfFontSet function will return the
       XLFD name instead of the non-XLFD base name.

       The base font name list is owned by Xlib and should not be
       modified or freed by the client.  It will be freed by a
       call to XFreeFontSet with the associated XFontSet.  Until
       freed, its contents will not be modified by Xlib.

       The XLocaleOfFontSet function returns the name of the
       locale bound to the specified XFontSet, as a null-
       terminated string.

       The returned locale name string is owned by Xlib and
       should not be modified or freed by the client.  It may be
       freed by a call to XFreeFontSet with the associated
       XFontSet.  Until freed, it will not be modified by Xlib.

       The XContextDependentDrawing function returns True if text
       drawn with the font_set might include context-dependent
       drawing.
