XFontsOfFontSet(3X11)         X11 SDE 5.4R3.00         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.

       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.
