REQUEST ARGUMENTS

conn

The XCB connection to X11.

max_names

The maximum number of fonts to be returned.

pattern_len

The length (in bytes) of pattern.

pattern

A font pattern, for example "-misc-fixed-*".

The asterisk (*) is a wildcard for any number of characters. The question mark (?) is a wildcard for a single character. Use of uppercase or lowercase does not matter.

 

REPLY FIELDS

response_type

The type of this reply, in this case XCB_LIST_FONTS_WITH_INFO. This field is also present in the xcb_generic_reply_t and can be used to tell replies apart from each other.

sequence

The sequence number of the last request processed by the X11 server.

length

The length of the reply, in words (a word is 4 bytes).

name_len

The number of matched font names.

min_bounds

minimum bounds over all existing char

max_bounds

maximum bounds over all existing char

min_char_or_byte2

first character

max_char_or_byte2

last character

default_char

char to print for undefined character

properties_len

how many properties there are

draw_direction

One of the following values:

XCB_FONT_DRAW_LEFT_TO_RIGHT

TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

XCB_FONT_DRAW_RIGHT_TO_LEFT

TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

min_byte1

TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

max_byte1

TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

all_chars_exist

flag if all characters have nonzero size

font_ascent

baseline to top edge of raster

font_descent

baseline to bottom edge of raster

replies_hint

An indication of how many more fonts will be returned. This is only a hint and may be larger or smaller than the number of fonts actually returned. A zero value does not guarantee that no more fonts will be returned.

 

DESCRIPTION

Gets a list of available font names which match the given pattern.  

RETURN VALUE

Returns an xcb_list_fonts_with_info_cookie_t. Errors have to be handled when calling the reply function xcb_list_fonts_with_info_reply.

If you want to handle errors in the event loop instead, use xcb_list_fonts_with_info_unchecked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.  

ERRORS

This request does never generate any errors.
