I am currently using a XmFontSelector to allow the user to change fonts in an XmText on the fly. However, I also want the XmFS to display the currentFont the user may be using. I know this can be done with render tables (I tried it), but I want to do it with fontLists (for better compatibility as renderTable support seemed flaky to me---it is also mentioned in the OM TODO).

So, how do I get an XLFD from a fontList? I did this:

1) Extract the fontList from XmText.
2) Get the default entry from the list (*not* using fontsets)
3) Get the XFontStruct from the entry.

I successfully reached here, but I can't figure out how to get the XLFD from this. The man pages are no help. The XGetFontProperty with XA_FONT_NAME returns an unsigned long as the value.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a better way to do this?
Of course, it would be *very* convenient if the XmFontSelector itself took something higher level as currentFont than an XLFD.
