int first,
                         int count,
                         int list )

PARAMETERS
       font   Specifies the font from which character glyphs are to be taken.

       first  Specifies the index of the first glyph to be taken.

       count  Specifies the number of glyphs to be taken.

       list   Specifies the index of the first display list to be generated.

DESCRIPTION
       glXUseXFont   generates   count   display   lists,  named  list  through
       list+count-1, each containing a single glBitmap command.  The parameters
       of  the  glBitmap  command of display list list+i are derived from glyph
       first+i.  Bitmap parameters xorig, yorig, width, and height are computed
       from  font  metrics  as descent-1, -lbearing, rbearing-lbearing, and as‐
       cent+descent, respectively.  xmove is taken from the glyph's width  met‐
       ric,  and ymove is set to zero.  Finally, the glyph's image is converted
       to the appropriate format for glBitmap.

       Using glXUseXFont may be more efficient than accessing the  X  font  and
       generating  the display lists explicitly, both because the display lists
       are created on the server without requiring a round trip  of  the  glyph
       data,  and  because  the server may choose to delay the creation of each
       bitmap until it is accessed.

       Empty display lists are created for all glyphs that  are  requested  and
       are  not defined in font.  glXUseXFont is ignored if there is no current
       GLX context.

ERRORS
       BadFont is generated if font is not a valid font.

       GLXBadContextState is generated if the current GLX context  is  in  dis‐
       play-list construction mode.

       GLXBadCurrentWindow  is  generated  if  the drawable associated with the
       current context of the calling thread is a window, and that window is no
       longer valid.
