Synonym/definition/idiom-but that

Hello,

1. What is the definition of 'but that' or its synonym?

2. Is 'but that' an idiom?

3. Could you give me some examples of 'but that' in sentences?

I have recently found 'but that' under the subordinate conjunctions on the Internet, http://web.cn.edu/kwheeler/grammar_subordinate.html .

Thank you.

With best wishes.
