XFontsOfFontSet(3X11)       X Version 11(Release 5)       XFontsOfFontSet(3X11)


NAME
      XFontsOfFontSet, XBaseFontNameListOfFontSet, XLocaleOfFontSet,
      XContextDependentDrawing - obtain fontset information

SYNTAX
      int XFontsOfFontSet(font_set, font_struct_list_return,
      font_name_list_return)
             XFontSet font_set;
             XFontStruct ***font_struct_list_return;
             char ***font_name_list_return;

      char *XBaseFontNameListOfFontSet(font_set)
            XFontSet font_set;

      char *XLocaleOfFontSet(font_set)
            XFontSet font_set;

      Bool XContextDependentDrawing(font_set)
            XFontSet font_set;

ARGUMENTS
      font_set  Specifies the font set.

      font_name_list_return
                Returns the list of font names.

      font_struct_list_return
                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 pointers 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 compute text dimensions.  Therefore, existence of
      the per_char metrics in the XFontStruct structures in the XFontStructSet
      is undefined.  Also, note that all properties in the XFontStruct
      structures are in the STRING encoding.

XFontsOfFontSet(3X11)       X Version 11(Release 5)       XFontsOfFontSet(3X11)


      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 original 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.
