.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBXmFontList\fR is the data type for a font list\&. A font list
consists of font list entries\&. Each entry contains a font or a
font set (a group of fonts) and is identified with a tag,
which is optional\&. If this tag is
NULL, the tag
is set to \fBXmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG\fP\&.
.PP
The value of
\fBXmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG\fP is \fBXmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG_STRING\fP\&.
.PP
When a compound string is displayed, the font list element tag of the
compound string segment is matched with a font list entry tag in
the font list and the matching font list entry is used to display
the compound string\&. A font list entry is chosen as follows:
.IP "   \(bu" 6
The first font list entry whose tag matches the tag of the compound
string segment is used\&.
.IP "   \(bu" 6
If no match has been found and if the tag of the compound string
segment is \fBXmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG\fP, the first font list
entry whose tag matches the tag that would result from creating
an entry with \fBXmSTRING_DEFAULT_CHARSET\fP is used\&.
For example, if creating an entry with \fBXmSTRING_DEFAULT_CHARSET\fP
would result in the tag \fBISO8859-1\fP, the compound string segment
tag \fBXmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG\fP matches the font list entry tag
\fBISO8859-1\fP\&.
.IP "   \(bu" 6
If no match has been found and if the tag of the compound string
segment matches the tag that would result from creating a segment
with \fBXmSTRING_DEFAULT_CHARSET\fP, the first font list entry
whose tag is \fBXmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG\fP is used\&.
.IP "   \(bu" 6
If no match has been found, the first entry in the font list is
used\&.
.PP
The font list interface consists of the routines listed
in \fBRelated Information\fP\&.
.PP
Font lists are specified in resource files with the following syntax:
.PP
.nf
\fIresource_spec\fP\fB:\fP  \fIfont_entry\fP [, \fIfont_entry\fP ]+
.fi
.PP
The resource value string consists of one or more font list entries
separated by commas\&. Each \fIfont_entry\fP identifies a font or
font set and an optional font list entry tag\&. A tag specified for a
single font follows the font name and is separated
by = (equals sign); otherwise,
in a font set the tag is separated by a colon\&. The colon is required
whether a tag is specified or not\&. A font entry uses the following
syntax to specify a single font:
.PP
.nf
\fIfont_name\fP [ \&'=\&' \fItag\fP ]
.fi
.PP
For example, the following entry specifies a 10 point Times Italic font
without a font list entry tag;
.PP
.nf
\f(CW*fontList:  -Adobe-Times-Medium-I-Normal--10*\fR
.fi
.PP
.PP
A font entry containing a font set is similar, except a semicolon
separates multiple font names and the specification ends with
a colon followed by an optional tag:
.PP
.nf
\fIfont_name\fP [ \&';\&' \fIfont_name\fP ]+ \&':\&' [ \fItag\fP ]
.fi
.PP
A \fIfont_name\fP is an X Logical Font Description (XLFD) string
and \fItag\fP is any set of characters from ISO646IRV except
space, comma, colon, equal sign and semicolon\&. Following is an example of a font
set entry\&. It consists of three fonts (except for charsets),
and an explicit font list entry tag\&.
.PP
.nf
\f(CW*fontList: -Adobe-Courier-Bold-R-Normal--25-180-100-100-M-150;\
-JIS-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--26-180-100-100-C-240;\
-JIS-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--26-180-100-100-C-120:MY_TAG\fR
.fi
.PP
.PP
Note that the \fBXmRenderTable\fR is another data type that can be
used for font lists\&. Refer to the \fBXmRenderTable\fP(3) for details\&.
