NAME
XmFontList--Data type for a font list
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
DESCRIPTION
XmFontList is the data type for a font list. A font list consists of
font list entries, each of which contains a font or a font set (a
group of fonts) and is identified with a tag. The font list entry
tag is optional; if NULL, the tag is set to XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG.
The value of XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG is
"XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG_STRING".
When a compound string is displayed, the font list element tag of the
compound string segment is matched with a font list entry tag in the
font list and the matching font list entry is used to display the
compound string. A font list entry is chosen as follows:
⊕ The first font list entry whose tag matches the tag of the
compound string segment is used.
⊕ If no match has been found and if the tag of the compound string
segment is XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG, the first font list entry
whose tag matches the tag that would result from creating an
entry with XmSTRING_DEFAULT_CHARSET. For example, if creating
an entry with XmSTRING_DEFAULT_CHARSET would result in the tag
"ISO8859-1", the compound string segment tag
XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG matches the font list entry tag
"ISO8859-1".
⊕ If no match has been found and if the tag of the compound string
segment matches the tag that would result from creating a
segment with XmSTRING_DEFAULT_CHARSET, the first font list entry
whose tag is XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG is used.
⊕ If no match has been found, the first entry in the font list is
used.
The font list interface consists of the routines listed under "Related
Information."
Font lists are specified in resource files using the following syntax:
resource_spec: font_entry [ , font_entry ]+
The resource value string consists of one or more font list entries
separated by commas. Each font_entry identifies a font or font set, and an
optional font list entry tag. A tag specified for a single font follows the
font name and is separated by = ; otherwise, in a font set the tag is
separated by a colon. The colon is required whether a tag is specified or
not. A font entry uses the following syntax to specify a single font:

font_name [ '=' tag ]
For example, this entry specifies a 10 point Times Italic font without a
font list entry tag.
*fontList: -Adobe-Times-Medium-I-Normal--10*
A font entry containing a font set is similar except a semicolon separates
multiple font names and the specification ends with a colon followed by an
optional tag.
font_name [ ';' font_name ]+ ':' [ tag ]
A font_name is an X Logical Font Description (XLFD) string and tag is any
set of characters from ISO646IRV except space, comma, colon, equal sign and
semicolon. An example of a font set entry is given below. It consists of
three fonts (except for charsets), and an explicit font list entry tag.
*fontList : -Adobe-Courier-Bold-R-Normal--25-180-100-100-M-150;\ -JIS-Fixed-
Medium-R-Normal--26-180-100-100-C-240;\ -JIS-Fixed-Medium-R-
Normal--26-180-100-100-C-120:MY_TAG
