XSetFontPath(3X11)	XLIB FUNCTIONS	     XSetFontPath(3X11)

NAME
       XSetFontPath, XGetFontPath, XFreeFontPath - set, get, or
       free the font search path

SYNTAX
       XSetFontPath(display, directories, ndirs)
	     Display *display;
	     char **directories;
	     int ndirs;

       char **XGetFontPath(display, npaths_return)
	     Display *display;
	     int *npaths_return;

       XFreeFontPath(list)
	     char **list;

ARGUMENTS
       directories
		 Specifies the directory path used to look for a
		 font.	Setting the path to the empty list
		 restores the default path defined for the X
		 server.

       display	Specifies the connection to the X server.

       list	Specifies the array of strings you want to free.

       ndirs	Specifies the number of directories in the path.

       npaths_return
		 Returns the number of strings in the font path
		 array.

DESCRIPTION
       The XSetFontPath function defines the directory search
       path for font lookup.  There is only one search path per X
       server, not one per client.  The encoding and interpreta-
       tion of the strings are implementation-dependent, but typ-
       ically they specify directories or font servers to be
       searched in the order listed.  An X server is permitted to
       cache font information internally; for example, it might
       cache an entire font from a file and not check on subse-
       quent opens of that font to see if the underlying font
       file has changed.  However, when the font path is changed,
       the X server is guaranteed to flush all cached information
       about fonts for which there currently are no explicit
       resource IDs allocated.	The meaning of an error from this
       request is implementation-dependent.

       XSetFontPath can generate a BadValue error.

XSetFontPath(3X11)	XLIB FUNCTIONS	     XSetFontPath(3X11)

       The XGetFontPath function allocates and returns an array
       of strings containing the search path.  The contents of
       these strings are implementation-dependent and are not
       intended to be interpreted by client applications.  When
       it is no longer needed, the data in the font path should
       be freed by using XFreeFontPath.

       The XFreeFontPath function frees the data allocated by
       XGetFontPath.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadValue Some numeric value falls outside the range of
		 values accepted by the request.  Unless a spe-
		 cific range is specified for an argument, the
		 full range defined by the argument's type is
		 accepted.  Any argument defined as a set of
		 alternatives can generate this error.
