XGetFontProperty()					    XGetFontProperty()

Name
  XGetFontProperty – get a font property given its atom.

Synopsis
  Bool XGetFontProperty(font_struct, atom, value_return)
	XFontStruct *font_struct;
	Atom atom;
	unsigned long *value_return;

Arguments
  font_struct
	    Specifies the storage associated with the font.

  atom	    Specifies the atom associated with the property name you want
	    returned.

  value_return
	    Returns the value of the font property.

Returns
  True if the atom was defined, else False.

Description
  XGetFontProperty() returns the value of the  specified  font	property,
  given	 the  atom  for that property.	The function returns False if the
  atom was not defined, or True if was defined.

  There are a set of predefined atoms for font properties  which  can  be
  found in <X11/Xatom.h>.  These atoms are listed and described in Volume
  One, Chapter 6, Drawing Graphics and Text. This set contains the  stan‐
  dard properties associated with a font.  The predefined font properties
  are likely but not guaranteed to be present for any given font.

  See Volume 0, Appendix M, Logical  Font  Description	Conventions,  for
  more information on font properties.

Structures
     typedef struct {
	 XExtData *ext_data;	     /* hook for extension to hang data */
	 Font fid;		     /* Font ID for this font */
	 unsigned direction;	     /* hint about direction the font is painted */
	 unsigned min_char_or_byte2; /* first character */
	 unsigned max_char_or_byte2; /* last character */
	 unsigned min_byte1;	     /* first row that exists */
	 unsigned max_byte1;	     /* last row that exists */
	 Bool all_chars_exist;	     /* flag if all characters have non-zero size*/
	 unsigned default_char;	     /* char to print for undefined character */
	 int n_properties;	     /* how many properties there are */
	 XFontProp *properties;	     /* pointer to array of additional properties*/
	 XCharStruct min_bounds;     /* minimum bounds over all existing char*/
	 XCharStruct max_bounds;     /* maximum bounds over all existing char*/
	 XCharStruct *per_char;	     /* first_char to last_char information */
	 int ascent;		     /* logical extent above baseline for spacing */
	 int descent;		     /* logical descent below baseline for spacing */
     } XFontStruct;
