This questions is for server gurus familiar with the font loading stuff. Give a FontPtr, is there a call somewhere in the server to get the font name (as supplied by the client)? If not, has anyone written such a routine? If not, could someone give me some advice as to how to crawl through the servers internal data structures to find this information? Thanks, Dan Garfinkel (garfinke@hpfcda.hp.com)

Most fonts will have a font-property "FONT" which containts a name which can be used to lookup the font. Run through the list of font properties, looking for the one with name == MakeAtom ("FONT", 4, 1). Note that this name is the "canonical" name of the font; it is unlikely to match the string used to open the font, which typically contains wild-card characters or is an alias name.
