+The

+function loads the specified font and returns its associated font ID.
+If the font name is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding,
+the result is implementation-dependent.
+Use of uppercase or lowercase does not matter.
+When the characters ``?'' and ``*'' are used in a font name, a
+pattern match is performed and any matching font is used.
+In the pattern,
+the ``?'' character will match any single character,
+and the ``*'' character will match any number of characters.
+A structured format for font names is specified in the X Consortium standard
+\fIX Logical Font Description Conventions\fP.
+If
+.ZN XLoadFont
+was unsuccessful at loading the specified font,
+a
+.ZN BadName
+error results.
+Fonts are not associated with a particular screen
+and can be stored as a component
+of any GC.
+When the font is no longer needed, call
+.ZN XUnloadFont .
+.LP
+.ZN XLoadFont
+can generate
+.ZN BadAlloc
+and
+.ZN BadName
+errors.
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XQueryFont
+function returns a pointer to the

+You can query a font or the font stored in a GC.
+The font ID stored in the

+X supports single byte/character, two bytes/character matrix,
+and 16-bit character text operations.
+Note that any of these forms can be used with a font, but a
+single byte/character text request can only specify a single byte
+(that is, the first row of a 2-byte font).
+You should view 2-byte fonts as a two-dimensional matrix of defined
+characters: byte1 specifies the range of defined rows and
+byte2 defines the range of defined columns of the font.
+Single byte/character fonts have one row defined, and the byte2 range
+specified in the structure defines a range of characters.
+.LP
+The bounding box of a character is defined by the
+.ZN XCharStruct
+of that character.
+When characters are absent from a font,
+the default_char is used.
+When fonts have all characters of the same size,
+only the information in the
+.ZN XFontStruct
+min and max bounds are used.

+.ZN FontLeftToRight

+.ZN XCharStruct
+elements
+have a positive
+.Pn ( FontLeftToRight )
+or a negative
+.Pn ( FontRightToLeft )
+character width
+metric.
+The core protocol defines no support for vertical text.
+.IP \(bu 5
+If the min_byte1 and max_byte1 members are both zero, min_char_or_byte2
+specifies the linear character index corresponding to the first element
+of the per_char array, and max_char_or_byte2 specifies the linear character
+index of the last element.
+.IP
+If either min_byte1 or max_byte1 are nonzero, both
+min_char_or_byte2 and max_char_or_byte2 are less than 256,
+and the 2-byte character index values corresponding to the
+per_char array element N (counting from 0) are:
+.IP
+.EX
+ byte1 = N/D + min_byte1
+ byte2 = N\\D + min_char_or_byte2
+.EE

+.EE
+.IP \(bu 5

+.ZN True ,
+all characters in the per_char array have nonzero bounding boxes.
+.IP \(bu 5
+The default_char member specifies the character that will be used when an
+undefined or nonexistent character is printed.
+The default_char is a 16-bit character (not a 2-byte character).
+For a font using 2-byte matrix format,
+the default_char has byte1 in the most-significant byte
+and byte2 in the least significant byte.
+If the default_char itself specifies an undefined or nonexistent character,
+no printing is performed for an undefined or nonexistent character.
+.IP \(bu 5
+The min_bounds and max_bounds members contain the most extreme values of
+each individual
+.ZN XCharStruct
+component over all elements of this array
+(and ignore nonexistent characters).
+The bounding box of the font (the smallest
+rectangle enclosing the shape obtained by superimposing all of the
+characters at the same origin [x,y]) has its upper-left coordinate at:
+.Ds
+ [x + min_bounds.lbearing, y \- max_bounds.ascent]

+.IP
+Its width is:

+.IP
+Its height is:

+.IP \(bu 5
+The ascent member is the logical extent of the font above the baseline that is
+used for determining line spacing.
+Specific characters may extend beyond
+this.
+.IP \(bu 5
+The descent member is the logical extent of the font at or below the
+baseline that is used for determining line spacing.
+Specific characters may extend beyond this.
+.IP \(bu 5
+If the baseline is at Y-coordinate y,
+the logical extent of the font is inclusive between the Y-coordinate
+values (y \- font.ascent) and (y + font.descent \- 1).
+Typically,
+the minimum interline spacing between rows of text is given
+by ascent + descent.

+For a character origin at [x,y],

+The lbearing member defines the extent of the left edge of the character ink
