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, char- acter metrics, and character bitmaps. The wildcard character "*" can be used to match any sequence of charac- ters (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.
