Sometimes it can be useful to get the X font structure for a particular size and style as used in the Forms Library. For this purpose, the following routine exists:
[const] XFontStruct *fl_get_fontstruct(int style, int size);
The structure returned can be used in, say, setting the font in a
particular GC
:
XFontStruct *xfs = fl_get_fontstruct(FL_TIMESBOLD_STYLE, FL_HUGE_SIZE); XSetFont(fl_get_display(), mygc, xfs->fid);
The caller is not allowed to free the structure returned by
fl_get_fontstruct()
, it’s just a pointer to an
internal structure!
