XFontsOfFontSet(3)		 XLIB FUNCTIONS 	      XFontsOfFontSet(3)

NAME
     XFontsOfFontSet,  XBaseFontNameListOfFontSet, XLocaleOfFontSet, XContextDe-
     pendentDrawing, XContextualDrawing, XDirectionalDependentDrawing  -  obtain
     fontset information

SYNTAX
     int  XFontsOfFontSet(XFontSet font_set, XFontStruct ***font_struct_list_re-
	    turn, char ***font_name_list_return);

     char *XBaseFontNameListOfFontSet(XFontSet font_set);

     char *XLocaleOfFontSet(XFontSet font_set);

     Bool XContextDependentDrawing(XFontSet font_set);

     Bool XContextualDrawing(XFontSet font_set);

     Bool XDirectionalDependentDrawing(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.

     Xlib  does  not guarantee that fonts are loaded from the server at the cre-
     ation 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 XFree-
     FontSet with the associated XFontSet.  Until freed, their 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-termi-
     nated string containing a list of comma-separated font names is returned as
     the  value  of  the function.  White space 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 the drawing functions
     implement implicit text directionality or if text drawn with  the	font_set
     might include context-dependent drawing; otherwise, it returns False.

     The  XContextualDrawing  function	returns True if text drawn with the font
     set might include context-dependent drawing; otherwise, it returns False.

     The XDirectionalDependentDrawing function returns True if the drawing func-
     tions implement implicit text directionality; otherwise, it returns False.
