First of all, I would like to apologize for the butchered version
of my previous posting asking for help with the ascii Text Widget.
As of now, the question still remains as to how one may go about
saving the contents of the ascii Text widget.  Any suggestions?

However, the most recent problem involves fonts.  I have yet to
uncover a method of setting widget fonts using XtSetArg.  For 
example, the Athena Label widget possesses the attribute XtNfont 
which I would like to set as such:

	i = 0;
	XtSetArg(args[i], XtNfont, ?????); i++;
	XtSetValues(label_widget, args, i);

But what belongs in the ???????   
I have tried many things, including:

	-adobe-helvetica-hold-o-normal--24-240-75-75-p-138-iso8859-1

	"-adobe-helvetica-hold-o-normal--24-240-75-75-p-138-iso8859-1"

	9x15

	/usr/include/X11....somefontfilename


Apparently, I am way in left field.  Still, I would like to have
a font in my X Window program other than the default.

PLEASE tell me what to put in the ??????  !!!!



Thank you,

roy
