SYNTAX

       int	  XFontsOfFontSet(XFontSet	  font_set,	   XFontStruct
	      ***font_struct_list_return, 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-termi-
       nated, fully specified font name	strings	in the locale of the font  set
       is  returned to font_name_list_return.  The font_name_list order	corre-
       sponds to the font_struct_list order.  The number of XFontStruct	struc-
       tures and font names is returned	as the value of	the function.

       Because it is not guaranteed that a given character will	be imaged  us-
       ing  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
       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,	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-terminated string containing a list	of comma-separated font	 names
       is returned as the value	of the function.  White	space may appear imme-
       diately 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  XBaseFontNameListOf-
       FontSet 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 modi-
       fied 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 mod-
       ified  or  freed	 by  the  client.  It may be freed by a	call to	XFree-
       FontSet with the	associated XFontSet.  Until freed, it will not be mod-
       ified by	Xlib.

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