REQUEST ARGUMENTS


	conn		The XCB connection to X11.
	font		The fontable (Font or Graphics Context) to query.

REPLY FIELDS

response_type

The type of this reply, in this case XCB_QUERY_FONT. This field is also present in the xcb_generic_reply_t and can be used to tell replies apart from each other.

	sequence		The sequence number of the last request processed by the X11 server.
	length		The length of the reply, in words (a word is 4 bytes).

min_bounds

minimum bounds over all existing char

max_bounds

maximum bounds over all existing char

min_char_or_byte2

first character

max_char_or_byte2

last character

default_char

char to print for undefined character

properties_len

how many properties there are

draw_direction

One of the following values:
XCB_FONT_DRAW_LEFT_TO_RIGHT

TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

XCB_FONT_DRAW_RIGHT_TO_LEFT

TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

	min_byte1		TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
	max_byte1		TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

all_chars_exist

flag if all characters have nonzero size

font_ascent

baseline to top edge of raster

font_descent

baseline to bottom edge of raster

char_infos_len

TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

DESCRIPTION

Queries information associated with the font.

RETURN VALUE

Returns an xcb_query_font_cookie_t. Errors have to be handled when calling the reply function xcb_query_font_reply.

If you want to handle errors in the event loop instead, use xcb_query_font_unchecked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.

ERRORS

This request does never generate any errors.
