[comp.windows.open-look] Accessing scalable NeWS fonts from X applications?

montnaro@spyder.crd.ge.com (Skip Montanaro) (01/28/91)

The X/NeWS server (OpenWindows) has many scalable fonts. If you ask for a
font list, you get back the base name of the font, say zapfchancery-
mediumitalic. How do you get a scaled rendition of that font from X
applications? What's the font name (as far as X is concerned) for a 37-point
zapfchancery-mediumitalic font?

Thx,
