The XCB connection to X11.
The fontable (Font or Graphics Context) to query.

The type of this reply, in this case XCB_QUERY_FONT. This field is also present in the xcb_generic_reply_t and can be used to tell replies apart from each other.
The sequence number of the last request processed by the X11 server.
The length of the reply, in words (a word is 4 bytes).
minimum bounds over all existing char
maximum bounds over all existing char
first character
last character
char to print for undefined character
how many properties there are
One of the following values:
TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
flag if all characters have nonzero size
baseline to top edge of raster
baseline to bottom edge of raster
TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

Queries information associated with the font.

Returns an xcb_query_font_cookie_t. Errors have to be handled when calling the reply function xcb_query_font_reply.

If you want to handle errors in the event loop instead, use xcb_query_font_unchecked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.

This request does never generate any errors.
