XLSFONTS(1)

NAME
       xlsfonts - server font list displayer for X

SYNOPSIS
       xlsfonts [-options ...] [-fn pattern]

DESCRIPTION
       Xlsfonts  lists  the  fonts  that match the given pattern.
       The wildcard character  "*"  may  be  used  to  match  any
       sequence  of characters (including none), and "?" to match
       any single character.  If no  pattern  is  given,  "*"  is
       assumed.

       The  "*" and "?" characters must be quoted to prevent them
       from being expanded by the shell.

OPTIONS
       -display host:dpy
               This option specifies the X server to contact.

       -l      Lists some attributes of the font on one  line  in
               addition to its name.

       -ll     Lists font properties in addition to -l output.

       -lll    Lists character metrics in addition to -ll output.

       -m      This option indicates that  long  listings  should
               also  print the minimum and maximum bounds of each
               font.

       -C      This option indicates  that  listings  should  use
               multiple columns.  This is the same as -n 0.

       -1      This  option  indicates that listings should use a
               single column.  This is the same as -n 1.

       -w width
               This option specifies the width in characters that
               should be used in figuring out how many columns to
               print.  The default is 79.

       -n columns
               This option specifies the number of columns to use
               in  displaying  the  output.   By default, it will
               attempt to fit as many columns of font names  into
               the number of character specified by -w width.

       -u      This  option  indicates  that the output should be
               left unsorted.

       -o      This option indicates that xlsfonts should  do  an
               OpenFont  (and  QueryFont,  if appropriate) rather
               than a ListFonts.  This is useful if ListFonts  or
               ListFontsWithInfo fail to list a known font (as is
               the case with some scaled font systems).

       -fn pattern
               This option specifies the  font  name  pattern  to
               match.

BUGS
       Doing ``xlsfonts -l'' can tie up your server  for  a  very
       long time.  This is really a bug with single-threaded non-
       preemptable servers, not with this program.
