XLSFONTS(1)	X Version 11 (Release 6.4)	   XLSFONTS(1)



     NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
	  xlsfonts - server font list displayer	for X

     SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
	  xlsfonts [-options ...] [-fn pattern]

     DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
	  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    [Toc]    [Back]
	  -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).

		  This option specifies	the font name pattern to
		  match.

     BUGS    [Toc]    [Back]
	  Doing	``xlsfonts -l''	can tie	up your	server for a very long
	  time.	 This is really	a bug with single-threaded nonpreemptable
 servers, not with	this program.
