Hello, Can someone tell me why the following code fragment won't return
the font used by the label widget? 

thanks in advance - jc



	Widget	label;
	int	n;
	XFontStruct	font;

	n = 0;
	XtSetArg(args[n], XtNlabel, "label"); n++;
	label =  XtCreateManagedWidget( "label", labelWidgetClass, panel,
			   args, n );
	/*
	 *	get font
	 */ 
	n = 0; 
	XtSetArg(args[n], XtNfont, &font); n++;
	XtGetValues(comm, args, n);

	/*
	 *	length of string in pixels
	 */
	width = XTextWidth(&font, "string", strlen("string");
