NAME fmgetcomment - return a comment associated with a font SYNOPSIS #include <fmclient.h> long fmgetcomment(fh, slen, str); fmfonthandle fh; long slen; char *str; DESCRIPTION This function was made obsolete by changes to the IRIS Font Manager. The function was replaced by a stub that does not do anything. What follows is a description of what this function did under the NeWS windowing system. fmgetcomment gets the comment associated with the font fh. This routine writes that comment to the location (array) pointed to by the str character pointer. You must use the slen parameter to tell fmgetcomment the longest string it can write to the str array. fmgetcomment does not write more characters than specified by slen. Normally, returned function value for fmgetcomment is the length of the string it writes to str. But, if fmgetcomment cannot find the font fh , or if no comment exists for the font, the returned value of the function is -1. SEE ALSO fminit(3W), fmfindfont(3W), fmscalefont(3W). NOTE This routine is available only in immediate mode.
