Matching Fonts to Character Sets

Various sets of fonts are used to render a locale's characters. The specific font character set depends on the locale. This information should be in a locale-specific app-defaults file that contains font sets, fonts, and font lists.

XmFontSet specifies the locale-dependent fonts. The resource name is *fontSet. Fonts should not be specifically named. The resource name for XFontStruct is *font. Font lists contain lists of fonts and font sets. XFontList specifies the fonts.
