Would some kind soul please send me a snippet of code that illustrates
how a font gets changed in a program that uses Xtoolkit.
If you're changing the font for a widget before it is created, you
should arrange for the appropriate resource specification to be added
to your resource database (e.g. via xrdb). If you're changing the font
for a widget after it has been created, you should use XtSetValues.
Is the XtConvert routine what I want? The widget documentation says
that setting XtNfont requires an argument of type FontInfo*. Where is
that defined?
The documentation for Xaw is in error. The correct data type is
XFontStruct*. You can use the resource type conversion machinery
to obtain one of these, if you wish; simply declare an application
resource of type XtRFontStruct and then the string-to-fontstruct
conversion will be called automatically when/if necessary.
