XLoadQueryFont()														  XLoadQueryFont()

Name
  XLoadQueryFont - load a font and fill information structure.

Synopsis
  XFontStruct *XLoadQueryFont(display, name)
	Display *display;
	char *name;

Arguments
  display   Specifies a connection to an X server; returned from XOpenDisplay().

  name	    Specifies  the  name of the font.  This name is a NULL-terminated string.  As of Release 4, the * and ? wildcards are allowed and
	    may be supported by the server.  Uppercase or lowercase is not important.  If the font name is not in the Host Portable Character
	    Encoding, the result is implementation-dependent.

Returns
  The font description structure.

Description
  XLoadQueryFont()  performs an XLoadFont() and XQueryFont() in a single operation.  XLoadQueryFont() provides the easiest way to get charac-
  ter-size tables for placing a proportional font.  That is, XLoadQueryFont() both opens (loads) the specified font and returns a pointer  to
  the appropriate XFontStruct structure.  If the font does not exist, XLoadQueryFont() returns NULL.

  The  XFontStruct structure consists of the font-specific information and a pointer to an array of XCharStruct structures for each character
  in the font.

  For more information on fonts, see Volume One, Chapter 6, Drawing Graphics and Text.

Errors
  BadAlloc  Server has insufficient memory to store font.

  BadName   name specifies an unavailable font.

XTextWidth16()															    XTextWidth16()

Name
  XTextWidth16 - get the width in pixels of a 16-bit character string, locally.

Synopsis
  int XTextWidth16(font_struct, string, count)
	XFontStruct *font_struct;
	XChar2b *string;
	int count;

Arguments
  font_struct
	    Specifies the font description structure of the font in which you want to draw the string.

  string    Specifies a character string made up of XChar2b structures.

  count     Specifies the character count in string.

Returns
  The width in pixels.

Description
  XTextWidth16()  returns the width in pixels of the specified string using the specified font.  This is the sum of the XCharStruct.width for
  each character in the string.  This is also equivalent to the value of overall.width returned by XQueryTextExtents16() or XTextExtents16().

  The calculation is done assuming 16-bit font indexing.

  For more information on drawing text, see Volume One, Chapter 6, Drawing Graphics and Text.
