 #!Rdxgft DXGetFont #!N #!N Function #!N #!N Returns a Group representing

DXGetFont(char *name, float *ascent, float *descent) #!EF #!N #!N Functional Details 
#!N #!N The Group has as many members as there are 
characters in the named font (  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   name #!EF ). Typically, 
the returned font is passed to  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   DXGeometricText #!EF to construct 
a text Object from a given string. Alternatively, individual characters can 
be extracted using  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   DXGetEnumeratedMember #!EF . The member number is 
the same as the ASCII character code. #!N #!N The font 
has an overall height of 1. If  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   ascent #!EF is 
not  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   NULL #!EF , the portion of the overall height 
above the baseline is returned in  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   *ascent #!EF . If 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   descent #!EF is not  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   NULL #!EF , the portion 
of the overall height below the baseline is returned in  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
*descent #!EF . The sum of the ascent and the descent 
is the overall height 1. #!N #!N This routine checks the 
environment variables DXFONTS, DXEXECROOT, and DXROOT for directories to search for 
fonts. The routine also checks in /opt/local/dx and in the subdirectory 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   fonts #!EF of each of these directories. #!N #!N Return 
Value #!N #!N Returns the font or returns  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   NULL #!EF 
and sets an error code. #!N #!N See Also #!N #!N
