        +

        +

      2. Opening a Font +

        + To open a font, we use the following function: +

        +
        +xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_open_font (xcb_connection_t *c,

        + The fid parameter is the font Id + defined by xcb_generate_id() (see + above). The name parameter is the + name of the font you want to open. Use the command + xlsfonts in a terminal to know which + are the fonts available on your computer. The parameter + name_len is the length of the name + of the font (given by strlen()). +

        +

      4. Drawing text in a drawable +

        + To draw a text in a drawable, we use the following function: +

        +
        +xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_image_text_8 (xcb_connection_t *c,
        +                                    uint8_t           string_len,

        +                                    int16_t           x,
        +                                    int16_t           y,
        +                                    const char       *string);
        +
        +

        + The string parameter is the text to + draw. The location of the drawing is given by the parameters + x and y. + The base line of the text is exactly the parameter + y.
