I've been playing around a little with some of the 16 bit fonts that we have for use with X11R4 on our cluster of Apollo Domain 3500's and I would like to know how to specify a character as part of a string for something like a titlebar. However, it isn't for a program that I'm writing. I know about XChar2b and XDrawString16, but they aren't what I need since I'm not going to rewrite a window manager. Basically, after having specified something like k14 as the titlefont for xterm in a .twmrc for twm v 1.104 89/12/14, how can we specify characters to go into the title (printable characters, that is)? We have tried fooling around with different quoting of hex and octal representation, but without success. Any helpful hints would be appreciated. Sean Welch welch@ocf.Berkeley.EDU
