XListFonts()							  XListFonts()

Name
  XListFonts – return a list of the available font names.

Synopsis
  char **XListFonts(display, pattern, maxnames, actual_count_return)
	Display *display;
	char *pattern;
	int maxnames;
	int *actual_count_return;

Arguments
  display   Specifies	a  connection  to  an  X  server;  returned  from
	    XOpenDisplay().

  pattern   Specifies the string associated with the font names you  want
	    returned.	You  can  specify any string, including asterisks
	    (*) and question marks (?).	 The asterisk indicates	 a  wild‐
	    card for any number of characters and the question mark indi‐
	    cates a wildcard for a single character.  Uppercase or lower‐
	    case  is  not important.  If the pattern string is not in the
	    Host Portable Character Encoding the  result  is  implementa‐
	    tion-dependent.

  maxnames  Specifies  the  maximum number of names that are to be in the
	    returned list.

  actual_count_return
	    Returns the actual number of font names in the list.

Returns
  The list of font names.

Description
  XListFonts() returns a list of font names that match	the  string  pat‐
  tern.	  Each	returned  font name string is terminated by NULL.  If the
  data returned by the server is in the Latin Portable	Character  Encod‐
  ing,	then  the  returned  strings  are  in the Host Portable Character
  Encoding.  Otherwise, the result is implementation-dependent.	 The max‐
  imum	number	of  names returned in the list is the value you passed to
  maxnames.  The function returns the actual  number  of  font	names  in
  actual_count_return.

  If no fonts match the specified names, XListFonts() returns NULL.

  The  client  should  call XFreeFontNames() when done with the font name
  list.

  The font search path (the order in which font names in various directo‐
  ries are compared to pattern) is set by XSetFontPath().

  For  more  information  on  fonts,  see  Volume One, Chapter 6, Drawing
  Graphics and Text.
