Resource for specifying Desktop fonts

The fontList resource specifies the fonts that are used for text in the Desktop. The class for the fontList resource is FontList.

When specifying this resource, use the full font name, font name wildcards, or a font alias for the resource value. The default is the ``-*-helvetica-bold-r-*--14-*-p-*'' font. See ``Changing Desktop fonts'' and ``Changing fonts'' for more information on how to specify font resources.

This resource can be used to specify lists of fonts, to accommodate the possibility that some systems may contain a set of fonts, while other systems contain a different set. If you list multiple fonts, they must be separated by white space.


NOTE: The fontList resource controls all xdt3 fonts except the icon label fonts. The resource for specifying icon label fonts is discussed in ``Resources for configuring icon labels''.
