XmFontListEntryLoad(3)

NAME

   XmFontListEntryLoad --- A font list function that loads a font or creates
   a  font   set   and   creates   an   accompanying   font   list   entry
   "XmFontListEntryLoad" "font list functions" "XmFontListEntryLoad"

SYNOPSIS

   #include <Xm/Xm.h>
   XmFontListEntry XmFontListEntryLoad(
   Display *display,
   char *font_name,
   XmFontType type,
   char *tag);

DESCRIPTION

   XmFontListEntryLoad  loads  a  font  or creates a font set based on the
   value of the type argument. It creates and returns a  font  list  entry
   that contains the font or font set and the specified tag.

   If  the  value  of  type  is  XmFONT_IS_FONT,  the  function  uses  the
   XtCvtStringToFontStruct routine to convert the value of font_name to  a
   font  struct.   If the value of type is XmFONT_IS_FONTSET, the function
   uses the XtCvtStringToFontSet converter to create a  font  set  in  the
   current  locale.   XmFontListEntryLoad  creates  a font list entry that
   contains the font or font set derived from  the  converter.   For  more
   information about XtCvtStringToFontStruct and XtCvtStringToFontSet, see
   X Toolkit IntrinsicsC Language Interface.

   display   Specifies the display where the font list will be used.

   font_name Specifies an X Logical Font Description (XLFD) string,  which
             is  interpreted  either as a font name or as a base font name
             list.  A base font name list is a comma-separated  and  NULL-
             terminated string.

   type      Specifies  whether  the  font_name  argument refers to a font
             name  or  to  a  base  font  name  list.   Valid  values  are
             XmFONT_IS_FONT and XmFONT_IS_FONTSET.

   tag       Specifies  the tag of the font list entry to be created.  The
             tag may be specified as XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG, which is used
             to identify the default font list element in a font list when
             specified as part of a resource.

RETURN

   If the specified font is not found, or if the specified font set cannot
   be  created,  then either an implementation-defined font will be opened
   or a font set will be created, and a warning message will be generated.
   If  no suitable font can be found or a font set cannot be created, then
   another message will be generated and the function  will  return  NULL;
   otherwise  the  function  returns  a  font list entry.  If the function
   returns a font list entry, the function allocates  space  to  hold  the
   font  list  entry.  The  application  is  responsible  for managing the
   allocated space. The application can recover  the  allocated  space  by
   calling XmFontListEntryFree.
