 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

      -fn pattern

 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.
