       search path

SYNTAX
       XSetFontPath(display, directories, ndirs)
	     Display *display;
	     char **directories;
	     int ndirs;

       char **XGetFontPath(display, npaths_return)
	     Display *display;
	     int *npaths_return;

       XFreeFontPath(list)
	     char **list;

ARGUMENTS
       directories
		 Specifies the directory path used to look for a font.	Set‐
		 ting the path to the empty list restores the default path
		 defined for the X server.

       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       list	 Specifies the array of strings you want to free.

       ndirs	 Specifies the number of directories in the path.

       npaths_return
		 Returns the number of strings in the font path array.

DESCRIPTION
       The function defines the directory search path for font lookup.	There
       is only one search path per X server, not one per client.  The encoding
       and interpretation of the strings is implementation dependent, but typ‐
       ically they specify directories or font servers to be searched in the
       order listed.  An X server is permitted to cache font information
       internally, for example, it might cache an entire font from a file and
       not check on subsequent opens of that font to see if the underlying
       font file has changed.  However, when the font path is changed the X
       server is guaranteed to flush all cached information about fonts for
       which there currently are no explicit resource IDs allocated.  The
       meaning of an error from this request is implementation dependent.

       can generate a error.

       The function allocates and returns an array of strings containing the
       search path.  The contents of these strings are implementation depen‐
       dent and are not intended to be interpreted by client applications.
       When it is no longer needed, the data in the font path should be freed
       by using

       The function frees the data allocated by

DIAGNOSTICS
       Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the
       request.
		 Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the
		 full range defined by the argument's type is accepted.	 Any
		 argument defined as a set of alternatives can generate this
		 error.
