+:mod:`fm` --- *Font Manager* interface
+======================================
+
+.. module:: fm
+ :platform: IRIX
+ :synopsis: Font Manager interface for SGI workstations.
+ :deprecated:
+
+.. deprecated:: 2.6
+ The :mod:`fm` module has been deprecated for removal in Python 3.0.
+
+
+
+.. index::
+ single: Font Manager, IRIS
+ single: IRIS Font Manager
+
+This module provides access to the IRIS *Font Manager* library. It is
+available only on Silicon Graphics machines. See also: *4Sight User's Guide*,
+section 1, chapter 5: "Using the IRIS Font Manager."
+
+This is not yet a full interface to the IRIS Font Manager. Among the unsupported
+features are: matrix operations; cache operations; character operations (use
+string operations instead); some details of font info; individual glyph metrics;
+and printer matching.
+
+It supports the following operations:
+
+
+.. function:: init()
+
+ Initialization function. Calls :cfunc:`fminit`. It is normally not necessary to
+ call this function, since it is called automatically the first time the
+ :mod:`fm` module is imported.
+
+
+.. function:: findfont(fontname)
+
+ Return a font handle object. Calls ``fmfindfont(fontname)``.
+
+
+.. function:: enumerate()
+
+ Returns a list of available font names. This is an interface to
+ :cfunc:`fmenumerate`.
+
+
+.. function:: prstr(string)
+
+ Render a string using the current font (see the :func:`setfont` font handle
+ method below). Calls ``fmprstr(string)``.
+
+
+.. function:: setpath(string)
+
+ Sets the font search path. Calls ``fmsetpath(string)``. (XXX Does not work!?!)
+
+
+.. function:: fontpath()
+
+ Returns the current font search path.
+
+Font handle objects support the following operations:
+
+
+.. method:: font handle.scalefont(factor)
+
+ Returns a handle for a scaled version of this font. Calls ``fmscalefont(fh,
+ factor)``.
+
+
+.. method:: font handle.setfont()
+
+ Makes this font the current font. Note: the effect is undone silently when the
+ font handle object is deleted. Calls ``fmsetfont(fh)``.
+
+
+.. method:: font handle.getfontname()
+
+ Returns this font's name. Calls ``fmgetfontname(fh)``.
+
+
+.. method:: font handle.getcomment()
+
+ Returns the comment string associated with this font. Raises an exception if
+ there is none. Calls ``fmgetcomment(fh)``.
+
+
+.. method:: font handle.getfontinfo()
+
+ Returns a tuple giving some pertinent data about this font. This is an interface
+ to ``fmgetfontinfo()``. The returned tuple contains the following numbers:
+ ``(printermatched, fixed_width, xorig, yorig, xsize, ysize, height, nglyphs)``.
+
+
+.. method:: font handle.getstrwidth(string)
+
+ Returns the width, in pixels, of *string* when drawn in this font. Calls
+ ``fmgetstrwidth(fh, string)``.
+
