NAME
xlsfonts - server font list displayer for X
SYNOPSIS
xlsfonts [-display host:dpy] [-l] [-ll] [-lll] [-m] [-C] [-1] [-w width] [-n columns] [-u]
[-o] [-fn pattern] [-v]
DESCRIPTION
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
-display host:dpy
This option specifies the X server to contact.
-d host:dpy
Same as -display host:dpy.
-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 de-
fault, 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 appro-
priate) 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.
-v This option indicates that xlsfonts should print out the program version and exit.

ENVIRONMENT
DISPLAY
DISPLAY must be set 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.
