PfFontBaseStem(), PfFontBaseStemCx()

Get the base stem associated with a given font ID

Synopsis:

#include <photon/Pf.h>
char const * PfFontBaseStem( FontID *ptsID );

#include <font_api.h>
char const* PfFontBaseStemCx( struct _Pf_ctrl * context,
                              FontID * ptsID );

Arguments:

context: (PfFontBaseStemCx() only) A pointer to the font context to use, returned by PfAttachCx() or PfAttachDllCx().
ptsID: A pointer to a font ID, as returned by PfFindFont() or PfFindFontCx().

Library:

PfFontBaseStem(): ph
PfFontBaseStemCx(): font

Description:

These functions get the base stem that's associated with the font ID pointed to by ptsID. Examples of a base stem are helv and swiss. This routine is useful when differentiating between two or more installed fonts with identical descriptive names (see PfFontDescription()).
