[comp.windows.x] XFontStruct info

tek@CS.UCLA.EDU (09/09/88)

The information in XFontStruct includes the XCharStruct min_bounds and
max_bounds. The min_bounds and max_bounds fields are supposed to
contain the most extreme XCharStruct values for the font.

Does this include the attributes field of XCharStruct?
Or is it the case that only the bounds information is valid?

    Does this include the attributes field of XCharStruct?

Yes, but I guess there is some ambiguity here.  The attributes field was
intended to encode flags, rather than numbers.  The MIT font compiler
sets the max attribute to the OR of all attributes, and sets the min
attribute to the AND of all attributes.
