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.

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.
