NAME

  xlsfonts - server font list displayer for X


SYNOPSIS

  xlsfonts [-options...] [-fn pattern]


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.


DESCRIPTION

  The xlsfonts command 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.


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.
