Pardon me if this is a FAQ, but I notice that some of the font families
in an OpenWindows environment are listed (say, by XListFont) with names
like:

	-b&h-lucidatypewriter-bold-r-normal-sans-0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-1

with all zeros in the fields defining the designed resolution & pointsize.
XLoadQueryFont works on such names, but I am at a loss to understand what
size one gets that way, or how one might specify a particular point size.
I would assume that there is some link up here with outline lucida fonts,
but how does one deal with this in X? (not using XView, incidentally; I'm
using OLIT as my toolkit.)
