XListFonts(3X11)        COMMAND REFERENCE        XListFonts(3X11)



     names     Specifies the list of font names returned by
               XListFontsWithInfo.

     pattern   Specifies the null-terminated pattern string that
               can contain wildcard characters.

DESCRIPTION
     The XListFonts function returns an array of available font
     names (as controlled by the font search path; see
     XSetFontPath) that match the string you passed to the
     pattern argument.  The string should be ISO Latin-1;
     uppercase and lowercase do not matter.  Each string is
     terminated by an ASCII null.  The pattern string can contain
     any characters, but each asterisk (*) is a wildcard for any
     number of characters, and each question mark (?) is a
     wildcard for a single character.  The client should call
     XFreeFontNames when finished with the result to free the
     memory.

     The XFreeFontNames function frees the array and strings
     returned by XListFonts or XListFontsWithInfo.

     The XListFontsWithInfo function returns a list of font names
     that match the specified pattern and their associated font
     information.  The list of names is limited to size specified
     by maxnames.  The information returned for each font is
     identical to what XLoadQueryFont would return except that
     the per-character metrics are not returned.  The pattern
     string can contain any characters, but each asterisk (*) is
     a wildcard for any number of characters, and each question
     mark (?) is a wildcard for a single character.  To free the
     allocated name array, the client should call XFreeFontNames.
     To free the the font information array, the client should
     call XFreeFontInfo.

     The XFreeFontInfo function frees the the font information
     array.
