What were you trying to do?
Use the XLoadQueryFont with a font name that does not exist.
What's wrong:
Sometimes (not all the time!!) The RS/6000 X server signals a
fatal X error (BadName, named font does not exist) in response
to this query, even though the man page for XLoadQueryFont
says that NULL should be returned when a nonexistent font is
specified, and all the other X servers we have conform to this.
What should have happened:
The X server should not ever signal a fatal X error in
response to a bad font name in XLoadQueryFont.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
XLoadQueryFont(3) in the x11r5 locker.
