DESCRIPTION

26       Opens any X core font matching the given name (for example "-misc-
27       fixed-*").
28
29       Note that X core fonts are deprecated (but still supported) in favor of
30       client-side rendering using Xft.
31

RETURN VALUE

33       Returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. Errors (if any) have to be handled in the
34       event loop.
35
36       If you want to handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead,
37       use xcb_open_font_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.
