ARGUMENTS
     actual_count
               Specifies the actual number of matched font names returned by
               XListFontsWithInfo.

     actual_count_return
               Returns the actual number of font names.

     count_return
               Returns the actual number of matched font names.

     display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

     info_return
               Returns a pointer to the font information.

     free_info Specifies the pointer to the font information returned by
               XListFontsWithInfo.

     list      Specifies the array of strings you want to free.

     maxnames  Specifies the maximum number of names to be returned.

     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.
