XmCvtXmStringToCT — A compound string function that converts a compound string to compound text

XmCvtXmStringToCT converts a compound string  to  a  (char*)  string  in  compound  text  format.   The
       application must call XtAppInitialize before calling this function.  The converter uses the font list tag
       associated  with  a  given  compound string segment to select a compound text format for that segment.  A
       registry defines a mapping between font list tags and compound text encoding formats.  The converter uses
       the following algorithm for each compound string segment:

          1. If the compound string segment tag  is  mapped  to  XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG  in  the  registry,  the
             converter  passes  the  text  of  the  compound string segment to XmbTextListToTextProperty with an
             encoding style of XCompoundTextStyle and uses the resulting compound text for that segment.

          2. If the compound string segment tag is mapped to an MIT registered  charset  in  the  registry,  the
             converter  creates the compound text for that segment using the charset (from the registry) and the
             text of the compound string segment as defined in the X Consortium Standard CompoundTextEncoding.

          3. If the compound string segment tag is  mapped  to  a  charset  in  the  registry  that  is  neither
             XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG  nor  an MIT registered charset, the converter creates the compound text for
             that segment using the charset (from the registry) and the text of the compound string  segment  as
             an "extended segment" with a variable number of octets per character.

          4. If  the  compound  string  segment  tag is not mapped in the registry, the result is implementation
             dependent.

       string    Specifies a compound string to be converted to compound text.

       Returns a (char*) string in compound text format.  This format is described in the X Consortium Standard
       CompoundTextEncoding.  The function allocates space to hold the returned string.   The  application  is
       responsible for managing the allocated space.  The application can recover the allocated space by calling
       XtFree.
