Synopsis:
    #include <graph.h>
    short _FAR _getfontinfo( struct _fontinfo _FAR *info );

Description:
    The _getfontinfo function returns information about the currently
    selected font.  Fonts are selected with the  _setfont function.  The

    argument info.  The structure contains the following fields:

    type
        1 for a vector font, 0 for a bit-mapped font

    ascent
        distance from top of character to baseline in pixels

    pixwidth
        character width in pixels (0 for a proportional font)

    pixheight
        character height in pixels

    avgwidth
        average character width in pixels

    filename
        name of the file containing the current font

    facename
        name of the current font


Returns:
    The _getfontinfo function returns zero if the font information is
    returned successfully; otherwise a negative value is returned.
