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.

ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY to get the default host and display to use.


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.
