Get the foundry name of a font

Synopsis:

#include <photon/Pf.h>
char const *PfFontDescription( FontID *ptsID );

#include <font_api.h>
char const* PfFontDescriptionCx(
               struct _Pf_ctrl * context,
               FontID * ptsID );

Arguments:

context: (PfFontDescriptionCx() only) A pointer to the font context to use, returned by PfAttachCx() or PfAttachDllCx().
ptsID: A pointer to a font ID, as returned by PfFindFont() or PfFindFontCx().

Library:

PfFontDescription(): ph
PfFontDescriptionCx(): fontlib

Description:

These functions get the foundry name specific to the font ID pointed to by ptsID. These routines don't check to see if ptsID is non-NULL.

Returns:

The foundry name specific to the FontID, e.g. Comic Sans MS.
