xcb_font_t fid, uint16_t name_len, const char *name);

REQUEST ARGUMENTS

conn The XCB connection to X11.

fid The ID with which you will refer to the font, created by
xcb_generate_id.

name_len Length (in bytes) of name.

name A pattern describing an X core font.

DESCRIPTION

Opens any X core font matching the given name (for example "-misc-
fixed-*").

Note that X core fonts are deprecated (but still supported) in favor
of client-side rendering using Xft.

the event loop.

If you want to handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead,
use xcb_open_font_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.
