NAME
       XmCvtXmStringToCT--A compound string function that converts a
       compound string to compound text

SYNOPSIS
       #include <Xm/Xm.h>

       char * XmCvtXmStringToCT (string)      XmString    string;

DESCRIPTION
       XmCvtXmStringToCT converts a compound string to a (char *) string in
       compound text format.  The application must call XtAppInitialize
       before calling this function.  The converter uses the font list tag
       associated with a given compound string segment to select a compound
       text format for that segment.  A registry defines a mapping between
       font list tags and compound text encoding formats.  The converter
       uses the following algorithm for each compound string segment:


        1.  If the compound string segment tag is mapped to
            XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG in the registry, the converter passes the
            text of the compound string segment to XmbTextListToTextProperty
            with an encoding style of XCompoundTextStyle and uses the
            resulting compound text for that segment.

        2.  If the compound string segment tag is mapped to an MIT
            registered charset in the registry, the converter creates the
            compound text for that segment using the charset (from the
            registry) and the text of the compound string segment as defined
            in the X Consortium Standard Compound Text Encoding.

        3.  If the compound string segment tag is mapped to a charset in the
            registry that is neither XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG nor an MIT
            registered charset, the converter creates the compound text for
            that segment using the charset (from the registry) and the text
            of the compound string segment as an "extended segment" with a
            variable number of octets per character.

        4.  If the compound string segment tag is not mapped in the
            registry, the result is implementation dependent.


        string Specifies a compound string to be converted to compound text.


RETURN VALUE
       Returns a (char *) string in compound text format.  This format is
       described in the X Consortium Standard Compound Text Encoding.
