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 (includ-
ing 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 col-
umns. 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 display-
ing 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.

ENVIRONMENT

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.
