4.4 Setting Resource Definitions

To create a font set for an application, the resource definition should contain the complete set of fonts supported by the Unicode locale. For example:

fs = XCreateFontSet(display,
"-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1,
 -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-2,
 -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-4,
 -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-5,
 -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-6,
 -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-7,
 -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-8,
 -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-9,
 -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15,
 -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-big5-1,
 -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-gb2312.1980-0,
 -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-jisx0201.1976-0,
 -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-jisx0208.1983-0,
 -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-ksc5601.1992-3,
 -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-tis620.2533-0",
 -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-unicode-fontspecific",
  &missing_ptr, &missing_count, &def_string);	

Or, more simply:

fs = XCreateFontSet(display, "-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*",
&missing_ptr, &missing_count, &def_string);

The XmFontList resource definition of an application should also include all fonts for every character set supported by the locale. For example:

*fontList:\
-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1;\
-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-2;\
-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-4;\
-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-5;\
-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-6;\
-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-7;\
-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-8;\
-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-9;\
-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15;\
-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-big5-1;\
-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-gb2312.1980-0;\
-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-jisx0201.1976-0;\
-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-jisx0208.1983-0;\
-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-ksc5601.1992-3;\
-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-tis620.2533-0;\
-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*utf*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-unicode-fontspecifc:
