NAME

       XmRegisterSegmentEncoding  --  A  compound string function that registers a compound text encoding format for a specified font list element
       tag

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>
       char * XmRegisterSegmentEncoding(
       char *fontlist_tag,
       char *ct_encoding);

DESCRIPTION

       XmRegisterSegmentEncoding registers a compound text encoding format with the specified font list element tag. The  XmCvtXmStringToCT  func-
       tion  uses  this  registry to map the font list tags of compound string segments to compound text encoding formats. Registering a font list
       tag that already exists in the registry overwrites the original entry. You can unregister a font list tag by passing a NULL value  for  the
       ct_encoding parameter.

       fontlist_tag
		 Specifies the font list element tag to be registered. The tag must be a NULL-terminated ISO8859-1 string.

       ct_encoding
		 Specifies  the  compound  text  character set to be used for segments with the font list tag. The value must be a NULL-terminated
		 ISO8859-1 string.  A value of XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG maps the specified font list tag to the code set of the locale.

RETURN

       Returns NULL for a new font list tag or the old ct_encoding value for an already registered font list tag. The application  is  responsible
       for freeing the storage associated with the returned data (if any) by calling XtFree.

NAME

       XmCvtXmStringToCT -- A compound string function that converts a compound string to compound text

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>
       char * XmCvtXmStringToCT(
       XmString string);

DESCRIPTION

       XmCvtXmStringToCT  converts  a  compound  string  to  a (char *) string in compound text format.  The application must call XtAppInitialize
       before calling this function.  The converter uses the font list tag associated with a given compound string segment to  select  a  compound
       text  format for that segment.  A registry defines a mapping between font list tags and compound text encoding formats.	The converter uses
       the following algorithm for each compound string segment:

	  1. If the compound string segment tag is mapped to XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG in the registry, the converter passes the text of the compound
	     string  segment  to  XmbTextListToTextProperty  with an encoding style of XCompoundTextStyle and uses the resulting compound text for
	     that segment.

	  2. If the compound string segment tag is mapped to an MIT registered charset in the registry, the converter creates  the  compound  text
	     for  that	segment  using	the charset (from the registry) and the text of the compound string segment as defined in the X Consortium
	     Standard Compound Text Encoding.

	  3. If the compound string segment tag is mapped to a charset in the registry that is neither XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG nor  an  MIT  regis-
	     tered  charset,  the  converter  creates the compound text for that segment using the charset (from the registry) and the text of the
	     compound string segment as an "extended segment" with a variable number of octets per character.

	  4. If the compound string segment tag is not mapped in the registry, the result is implementation dependent.

       string	 Specifies a compound string to be converted to compound text.

RETURN

       Returns a (char *) string in compound text format.  This format is described in the X Consortium  Standard  Compound  Text  Encoding.   The
       function  allocates  space  to hold the returned string.  The application is responsible for managing the allocated space.  The application
       can recover the allocated space by calling XtFree.
