-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.ZN XCreateFontSet
-function creates a font set for the specified display.
-The font set is bound to the current locale when
-.ZN XCreateFontSet
-is called.
-The font set may be used in subsequent calls to obtain font
-and character information and to image text in the locale of the font set.
-.LP
-The base_font_name_list argument is a list of base font names
-that Xlib uses to load the fonts needed for the locale.
-The base font names are a comma-separated list.
-The string is null-terminated
-and is assumed to be in the Host Portable Character Encoding;
-otherwise, the result is implementation-dependent.
-White space immediately on either side of a separating comma is ignored.
-.LP
-Use of XLFD font names permits Xlib to obtain the fonts needed for a
-variety of locales from a single locale-independent base font name.
-The single base font name should name a family of fonts whose members
-are encoded in the various charsets needed by the locales of interest.
-.LP
-An XLFD base font name can explicitly name a charset needed for the locale.
-This allows the user to specify an exact font for use with a charset required
-by a locale, fully controlling the font selection.
-.LP
-If a base font name is not an XLFD name,
-Xlib will attempt to obtain an XLFD name from the font properties
-for the font.
-If this action is successful in obtaining an XLFD name, the
-.ZN XBaseFontNameListOfFontSet
-function will return this XLFD name instead of the client-supplied name.
-.LP
-Xlib uses the following algorithm to select the fonts
-that will be used to display text with the
-.ZN XFontSet .
-.LP
-For each font charset required by the locale,
-the base font name list is searched for the first appearance of one
-of the following cases that names a set of fonts that exist at the server:
-.IP \(bu 5
-The first XLFD-conforming base font name that specifies the required
-charset or a superset of the required charset in its
-.ZN CharSetRegistry
-and
-.ZN CharSetEncoding
-fields.
-The implementation may use a base font name whose specified charset
-is a superset of the required charset, for example,
-an ISO8859-1 font for an ASCII charset.
-.IP \(bu 5
-The first set of one or more XLFD-conforming base font names
-that specify one or more charsets that can be remapped to support the
-required charset.
-The Xlib implementation may recognize various mappings
-from a required charset to one or more other charsets
-and use the fonts for those charsets.
-For example, JIS Roman is ASCII with tilde and backslash replaced
-by yen and overbar;
-Xlib may load an ISO8859-1 font to support this character set
-if a JIS Roman font is not available.
-.IP \(bu 5
-The first XLFD-conforming font name or the first non-XLFD font name
-for which an XLFD font name can be obtained, combined with the
-required charset (replacing the
-.ZN CharSetRegistry
-and
-.ZN CharSetEncoding
-fields in the XLFD font name).
-As in case 1,
-the implementation may use a charset that is a superset
-of the required charset.
-.IP \(bu 5
-The first font name that can be mapped in some implementation-dependent
-manner to one or more fonts that support imaging text in the charset.
-.LP
-For example, assume that a locale required the charsets:
-.LP
-.Ds 0
-ISO8859-1
-JISX0208.1983
-JISX0201.1976
-GB2312-1980.0
-.De
-.LP
-The user could supply a base_font_name_list that explicitly specifies the
-charsets, ensuring that specific fonts are used if they exist.
-For example:
-.LP
-.Ds 0
-"-JIS-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--26-180-100-100-C-240-JISX0208.1983-0,\\
--JIS-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--26-180-100-100-C-120-JISX0201.1976-0,\\
--GB-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--26-180-100-100-C-240-GB2312-1980.0,\\
--Adobe-Courier-Bold-R-Normal--25-180-75-75-M-150-ISO8859-1"
-.De
-.LP
-Alternatively, the user could supply a base_font_name_list
-that omits the charsets,
-letting Xlib select font charsets required for the locale.
-For example:
-.LP
-.Ds 0
-"-JIS-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--26-180-100-100-C-240,\\
--JIS-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--26-180-100-100-C-120,\\
--GB-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--26-180-100-100-C-240,\\
--Adobe-Courier-Bold-R-Normal--25-180-100-100-M-150"
-.De
-.LP
-Alternatively, the user could simply supply a single base font name
-that allows Xlib to select from all available fonts
-that meet certain minimum XLFD property requirements.
-For example:
-.LP
-.Ds 0
-"-*-*-*-R-Normal--*-180-100-100-*-*"
-.De
-.LP
-If
-.ZN XCreateFontSet
-is unable to create the font set,
-either because there is insufficient memory or because the current locale
-is not supported,
-.ZN XCreateFontSet
-returns NULL, missing_charset_list_return is set to NULL,
-and missing_charset_count_return
-is set to zero.
-If fonts exist for all of the charsets required by the current locale,
-.ZN XCreateFontSet
-returns a valid
-.ZN XFontSet ,
-missing_charset_list_return is set to NULL,
-and missing_charset_count_return is set to zero.
-.LP
-If no font exists for one or more of the required charsets,
-.ZN XCreateFontSet
-sets missing_charset_list_return to a
-list of one or more null-terminated charset names for which no font exists
-and sets missing_charset_count_return to the number of missing fonts.
-The charsets are from the list of the required charsets for
-the encoding of the locale and do not include any charsets to which Xlib
-may be able to remap a required charset.
-.LP
-If no font exists for any of the required charsets
-or if the locale definition in Xlib requires that a font exist
-for a particular charset and a font is not found for that charset,
-.ZN XCreateFontSet
-returns NULL.
-Otherwise,
-.ZN XCreateFontSet
-returns a valid
-.ZN XFontSet
-to font_set.
-.LP
-When an Xmb/wc drawing or measuring function is called with an
-.ZN XFontSet
-that has missing charsets, some characters in the locale will not be
-drawable.
-If def_string_return is non-NULL,
-.ZN XCreateFontSet
-returns a pointer to a string that represents the glyphs
-that are drawn with this
-.ZN XFontSet
-when the charsets of the available fonts do not include all font glyphs
-required to draw a codepoint.
-The string does not necessarily consist of valid characters
-in the current locale and is not necessarily drawn with
-the fonts loaded for the font set,
-but the client can draw and measure the default glyphs
-by including this string in a string being drawn or measured with the
-.ZN XFontSet .
-.LP
-If the string returned to def_string_return is the empty string ("\^"),
-no glyphs are drawn, and the escapement is zero.
-The returned string is null-terminated.
-It is owned by Xlib and should not be modified or freed by the client.
-It will be freed by a call to
-.ZN XFreeFontSet
-with the associated
-.ZN XFontSet .
-Until freed, its contents will not be modified by Xlib.
-.LP
-The client is responsible for constructing an error message from the
-missing charset and default string information and may choose to continue
-operation in the case that some fonts did not exist.
-.LP
-The returned
-.ZN XFontSet
-and missing charset list should be freed with
-.ZN XFreeFontSet
-and
-.ZN XFreeStringList ,
-respectively.
-The client-supplied base_font_name_list may be freed
-by the client after calling
-.ZN XCreateFontSet .
-.LP
-The
-.ZN XFreeFontSet
-function frees the specified font set.
-The associated base font name list, font name list,
-.ZN XFontStruct
-list, and
-.ZN XFontSetExtents ,
-if any, are freed.

+Xlib may load an ISO8859-1 font to support this character set +if a JIS Roman font is not available. +.IP \(bu 5 +The first XLFD-conforming font name or the first non-XLFD font name +for which an XLFD font name can be obtained, combined with the +required charset (replacing the +.ZN CharSetRegistry +and +.ZN CharSetEncoding +fields in the XLFD font name). +As in case 1, +the implementation may use a charset that is a superset +of the required charset. +.IP \(bu 5 +The first font name that can be mapped in some implementation-dependent +manner to one or more fonts that support imaging text in the charset. +.LP +For example, assume that a locale required the charsets: +.LP +.Ds 0 +ISO8859-1 +JISX0208.1983 +JISX0201.1976 +GB2312-1980.0 +.De +.LP +The user could supply a base_font_name_list that explicitly specifies the +charsets, ensuring that specific fonts are used if they exist. +For example: +.LP +.Ds 0 +"-JIS-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--26-180-100-100-C-240-JISX0208.1983-0,\\ +-JIS-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--26-180-100-100-C-120-JISX0201.1976-0,\\ +-GB-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--26-180-100-100-C-240-GB2312-1980.0,\\ +-Adobe-Courier-Bold-R-Normal--25-180-75-75-M-150-ISO8859-1" +.De +.LP +Alternatively, the user could supply a base_font_name_list +that omits the charsets, +letting Xlib select font charsets required for the locale. +For example: +.LP +.Ds 0 +"-JIS-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--26-180-100-100-C-240,\\ +-JIS-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--26-180-100-100-C-120,\\ +-GB-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--26-180-100-100-C-240,\\ +-Adobe-Courier-Bold-R-Normal--25-180-100-100-M-150" +.De +.LP +Alternatively, the user could simply supply a single base font name +that allows Xlib to select from all available fonts +that meet certain minimum XLFD property requirements. +For example: +.LP +.Ds 0 +"-*-*-*-R-Normal--*-180-100-100-*-*" +.De +.LP +If +.ZN XCreateFontSet +is unable to create the font set, +either because there is insufficient memory or because the current locale +is not supported, +.ZN XCreateFontSet +returns NULL, missing_charset_list_return is set to NULL, +and missing_charset_count_return +is set to zero. +If fonts exist for all of the charsets required by the current locale, +.ZN XCreateFontSet +returns a valid +.ZN XFontSet , +missing_charset_list_return is set to NULL, +and missing_charset_count_return is set to zero. +.LP +If no font exists for one or more of the required charsets, +.ZN XCreateFontSet +sets missing_charset_list_return to a +list of one or more null-terminated charset names for which no font exists +and sets missing_charset_count_return to the number of missing fonts. +The charsets are from the list of the required charsets for +the encoding of the locale and do not include any charsets to which Xlib +may be able to remap a required charset. +.LP +If no font exists for any of the required charsets +or if the locale definition in Xlib requires that a font exist +for a particular charset and a font is not found for that charset, +.ZN XCreateFontSet +returns NULL. +Otherwise, +.ZN XCreateFontSet +returns a valid +.ZN XFontSet +to font_set. +.LP +When an Xmb/wc drawing or measuring function is called with an +.ZN XFontSet +that has missing charsets, some characters in the locale will not be +drawable. +If def_string_return is non-NULL, +.ZN XCreateFontSet +returns a pointer to a string that represents the glyphs +that are drawn with this +.ZN XFontSet +when the charsets of the available fonts do not include all font glyphs +required to draw a codepoint. +The string does not necessarily consist of valid characters +in the current locale and is not necessarily drawn with +the fonts loaded for the font set, +but the client can draw and measure the default glyphs +by including this string in a string being drawn or measured with the +.ZN XFontSet . +.LP +If the string returned to def_string_return is the empty string ("\^"), +no glyphs are drawn, and the escapement is zero. +The returned string is null-terminated. +It is owned by Xlib and should not be modified or freed by the client. +It will be freed by a call to +.ZN XFreeFontSet +with the associated +.ZN XFontSet . +Until freed, its contents will not be modified by Xlib. +.LP +The client is responsible for constructing an error message from the +missing charset and default string information and may choose to continue +operation in the case that some fonts did not exist. +.LP +The returned +.ZN XFontSet +and missing charset list should be freed with +.ZN XFreeFontSet +and +.ZN XFreeStringList , +respectively. +The client-supplied base_font_name_list may be freed +by the client after calling +.ZN XCreateFontSet . +.LP +The +.ZN XFreeFontSet +function frees the specified font set. +The associated base font name list, font name list, +.ZN XFontStruct +list, and +.ZN XFontSetExtents , +if any, are freed. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +XExtentsofFontSet(__libmansuffix__), +XFontsOfFontSet(__libmansuffix__), +XFontSetExtents(__libmansuffix__) +.br +\fI\*(xL\fP |
