FC-MATCH(1)                                                                              FC-MATCH(1)



NAME
       fc-match - match available fonts

SYNOPSIS
       fc-match  [ -asvVh ]  [ --all ]  [ --sort ]  [ --verbose ]  [  [ -f format ]  [ --format for‐
       mat ]  ]  [ --version ]  [ --help ]

        [ pattern  [ element... ]   ]

DESCRIPTION
       fc-match matches pattern (empty pattern by default)  using  the  normal  fontconfig  matching
       rules  to  find the best font available. If --sort is given, the sorted list of best matching
       fonts is displayed.  The --all option works like --sort except that no pruning is done on the
       list of fonts.

       If  any  elements  are specified, only those are printed.  Otherwise short file name, family,
       and style are printed, unless verbose output is requested.

OPTIONS
       This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting  with  two
       dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below.
