NAME
xcb_open_font - opens a font
SYNOPSIS
#include <xcb/xproto.h> Request function xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_open_font(xcb_connection_t *conn, xcb_font_t fid, uint16_t name_len, const char *name);
REQUEST ARGUMENTS
conn The XCB connection to X11. fid The ID with which you will refer to the font, created by xcb_generate_id. name_len Length (in bytes) of name. name A pattern describing an X core font.
DESCRIPTION
Opens any X core font matching the given name (for example "-misc-fixed-*"). Note that X core fonts are deprecated (but still supported) in favor of client-side rendering using Xft.
RETURN VALUE
Returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. Errors (if any) have to be handled in the event loop. If you want to handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, use xcb_open_font_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.
ERRORS
xcb_name_error_t No font matches the given name.
