1793.0. "How to find default font" by TOOLEY::B_WACKER () Mon Nov 27 1989 13:08

A customer would like to find out what the font is in the default GC 
so he can get its characteristics for centering, etc.  Is there a way 
to do this?  He'd rather not specify his own font.

The font name is "fixed" by default.  It is a pretty junk font, but you should
be able to do anything with it (inquiring characteristics, etc) that you can
do with any font.

    first:
          XCreateGC
    
     then:
          gcontext = XGContextFromGC
          font_struct = XQueryFont(display,(XID)gcontext);
    
     The font id is in:
          font_struct.fid
