NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       xlsfonts - server font list displayer for X

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

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

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       This option specifies the X server to contact.  Lists some
       attributes of the font on one  line  in  addition  to  its
       name.   Lists  font  properties  in addition to -l output.
       Lists character metrics in addition to -ll  output.   This
       option  indicates that long listings should also print the
       minimum and maximum bounds  of  each  font.   This  option
       indicates that listings should use multiple columns.  This
       is the same as -n 0.  This option indicates that  listings
       should  use  a  single  column.  This is the same as -n 1.
       This option specifies the width in characters that  should
       be  used  in  figuring out how many columns to print.  The
       default is  79.   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.  This option
       indicates that the output should be left  unsorted.   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.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       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    [Toc]    [Back]

       to get the default host and display to use.

BUGS    [Toc]    [Back]

       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.
