DESCRIPTION

The XListFonts function returns an array of available font
names (as controlled by the font search path; see XSet-
FontPath) that match the string you passed to the pattern
argument.  The string should be ISO Latin-1; uppercase and
lowercase do not matter.  Each string is terminated by an
ASCII null.  The pattern string can contain any characters,
but each asterisk (*) is a wildcard for any number of char-
acters, and each question mark (?) is a wildcard for a sin-
gle character.  The client should call XFreeFontNames when
finished with the result to free the memory.

The XFreeFontNames function frees the array and strings
returned by XListFonts or XListFontsWithInfo.

The XListFontsWithInfo function returns a list of font names
that match the specified pattern and their associated font
information.  The list of names is limited to size specified
by maxnames.  The information returned for each font is
identical to what XLoadQueryFont would return except that
the per-character metrics are not returned.  The pattern
string can contain any characters, but each asterisk (*) is
a wildcard for any number of characters, and each question
mark (?) is a wildcard for a single character.  To free the
allocated name array, the client should call XFreeFontNames.
To free the the font information array, the client should
call XFreeFontInfo.

The XFreeFontInfo function frees the the font information
array.
