NAME

       showfont - font dumper for X font server


SYNOPSIS

       showfont [ -options ... ] -fn pattern


DESCRIPTION

       Showfont displays data about a font that matches the given
       pattern.	 The information shown includes font information,
       font properties, character metrics, and character bitmaps.

       The wildcard character  "*"  can	 be  used  to  match  any
       sequence	 of characters (including none) in the font name,
       and "?" can be used to match any	 single	 character.   The
       "*" and "?" characters must be quoted to prevent them from
       being expanded by the shell.  If no pattern is given,  "*"
       is assumed.
