FMFINDFONT(3W)							FMFINDFONT(3W)

NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     fmfindfont	- select a font	face.

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <fmclient.h>

     fmfonthandle fmfindfont(face)
     char *face;

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     Before you	can call fmfindfont, you must startup the Font Manager.	 (Call
     fminit.)  Once you	have initialized the Font Manager, you can call
     fmfindfont	to get a font handle for a type	face. The face argument
     expects a pointer to a character string that specifies a font family. The
     returned value of the function is the requested font handle.  This	font
     handle gives you access to	a one point version of the font.  Use
     fmfonthandle much as you would use	the findfont operator of PostScript.

     If	fmfindfont does	not find the specified font, it	returns	a value	of
     zero (0).

     Later, you	can scale the one point	font or	(optionally) read from disk a
     specific font size	(larger	than one point)	from the within	the family.
     For example, to prepare to	use Times-Roman, call fmfindfont with TimesRoman
 as the argument:

	  fmfindfont("Times-Roman");
