DXmFindFontFallback - Associates the given XLFD font name with a new XLFD font name.
SYNOPSIS
char *DXmFindFontFallback(
char *fontname );
PARAMETERS
A pointer to the XLFD font name.
DESCRIPTION
The DXmFindFontFallback routine associates the given XLFD (X Logical Font Description) font name with a new XLFD font name. This routine
does not load the generated font, nor guarantee that it will load successfully. The application calling the routine is responsible for
freeing the returned font name through the Intrinsic routine XtFree when the font name is no longer required.
RETURN VALUES
A pointer to an XLFD font name string.

NAME
XmFontListEntryLoad -- A font list function that loads a font or creates a font set and creates an accompanying font list entry
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
XmFontListEntry XmFontListEntryLoad(
Display *display,
char *font_name,
XmFontType type,
char *tag);
DESCRIPTION
XmFontListEntryLoad loads a font or creates a font set based on the value of the type argument. It creates and returns a font list entry
that contains the font or font set and the specified tag.
If the value of type is XmFONT_IS_FONT, the function uses the XtCvtStringToFontStruct routine to convert the value of font_name to a font
struct. If the value of type is XmFONT_IS_FONTSET, the function uses the XtCvtStringToFontSet converter to create a font set in the cur-
rent locale. XmFontListEntryLoad creates a font list entry that contains the font or font set derived from the converter. For more infor-
mation about XtCvtStringToFontStruct and XtCvtStringToFontSet, see X Toolkit Intrinsics--C Language Interface.
display Specifies the display where the font list will be used.
font_name Specifies an X Logical Font Description (XLFD) string, which is interpreted either as a font name or as a base font name list. A
base font name list is a comma-separated and NULL-terminated string.
type Specifies whether the font_name argument refers to a font name or to a base font name list. Valid values are XmFONT_IS_FONT and
XmFONT_IS_FONTSET.
tag Specifies the tag of the font list entry to be created. The tag may be specified as XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG, which is used to
identify the default font list element in a font list when specified as part of a resource.
RETURN
If the specified font is not found, or if the specified font set cannot be created, then either an implementation-defined font will be
opened or a font set will be created, and a warning messge will be generated. If no suitable font can be found or a font set cannot be cre-
ated, then another message will be generated and the function will return NULL; otherwise the function returns a font list entry. If the
function returns a font list entry, the function allocates space to hold the font list entry. The application is responsible for managing
the allocated space. The application can recover the allocated space by calling XmFontListEntryFree.

Today hasn't been the best one of my career in IT.
I've been a contractor for a major utility company for a number of years, on a number of seperate IT contracts mostly Unix. The company had 10 different flavours of unix and multiple different varsions of most of them.
