I have been using X11r2. I ran into some problems for which I couldn't
find solutions with my knowledge of X11. I would appreciate any kind
of help that I can get. My mailing address is
      kadakia%boston.sdr.slb.com@relay.cs.net

1st problem :

Given text size, is there any way for a portable program to get list of
all fixed width fonts of the given text size without loading all of the
available fonts and checking their sizes?

2nd problem :

Is there a standard set of fonts which will be available on all xlib and
server implementation?

3rd problem :

If a given workstation supports only one hardware font, how will server
support multiple fonts? Does the server stroke out fonts that are not
supported by a given workstation?

Thanks to all in advance.
