I have been using x11r2. I ran into some problems for which I couldn't find solution with my knowledge of X. I would highly appreciate any help that I can get. 1st problem : Given text size, is there any way to get list of all fixed width fonts of the given text size without loading all available fonts and checking their sizes ? 2nd problem : Is there a standard set of fonts which will be available on all xlib and server implementation ? 3rd problem : If a given workstation supports only one hardware font, how will server support multiple fonts? Does the server stroke out the font ?

Given text size, is there any way to get list of all fixed width
fonts of the given text size without loading all available fonts
and checking their sizes ?
No, not until servers support the new font naming scheme that is being adopted.
Is there a standard set of fonts which will be available on all
xlib and server implementation ?
no.
If a given workstation supports only one hardware font, how will
server support multiple fonts? Does the server stroke out the
font ?
Servers may support as few or as many fonts as they wish (but at least
one) and may store and paint them in any manner that conforms to the
