11       xlsfonts -printer printername [-l] [-ll] [-lll] [-m] [-C] [-1] [-w
12       width] [-n columns] [-u] [-o] [-r resolution] [-b] [-B] [-g] [-G] [-x
13       mode] [-X mode] [-fn pattern]

DESCRIPTION

16       xlsfonts lists the fonts that match the given pattern.  The wildcard
17       character "*" may be used to match any sequence of characters (includ‐
18       ing none), and "?" to match any single character.  If no pattern is
19       given, "*" is assumed.
20
21       The "*" and "?" characters must be quoted to prevent them from being
22       expanded by the shell.

OPTIONS

25       -display host:dpy
26              This option specifies the X server to contact.
27
28       -printer printername
29              This option specifies the Xprint printer to contact.
30
31       -d host:dpy
32              Same as -display host:dpy.
33
34       -p printername
35              Same as -printer printername.
36
37       -l     Lists some attributes of the font on one line in addition to its
38              name.
39
40       -ll    Lists font properties in addition to -l output.
41
42       -lll   Lists character metrics in addition to -ll output.
43
44       -m     This option indicates that long listings should also print the
45              minimum and maximum bounds of each font.
46
47       -C     This option indicates that listings should use multiple columns.
48              This is the same as -n 0.
49
50       -1     This option indicates that listings should use a single column.
51              This is the same as -n 1.
52
53       -w width
54              This option specifies the width in characters that should be
55              used in figuring out how many columns to print.  The default is
56              79.
57
58       -n columns
59              This option specifies the number of columns to use in displaying
60              the output. By default, it will attempt to fit as many columns
61              of font names into the number of character specified by -w
62              width.
63
64       -u     This option indicates that the output should be left unsorted.
65
66       -o     This option indicates that xlsfonts should do an OpenFont (and
67              QueryFont, if appropriate) rather than a ListFonts.  This is
68              useful if ListFonts or ListFontsWithInfo fail to list a known
69              font (as is the case with some scaled font systems).
70
71       -r resolutionname
72              Set print resolution name (usually values like 300dpi or
73              300x600, see output of xplsprinters).  This may alter the output
74              of xlsfonts if there are printer fonts which get enabled/dis‐
75              abled on per-resolution basis by the DDX.
76
77              (printer mode only)
78
79       -b     List printer builtin fonts.  This is the same as -x
80              xp-list-internal-printer-fonts.
81
82              (printer mode only)
83
84       -B     Do not list printer builtin fonts.  This is the same as -X
85              xp-list-internal-printer-fonts.
86
87              (printer mode only)
88
89       -g     List glyph fonts.  This is the same as -x xp-list-glyph-fonts.
90
91              (printer mode only)
92
93       -G     Do not list glyph fonts.  This is the same as -X
94              xp-list-glyph-fonts.
95
96              (printer mode only)
97
98       -x mode
99              Enable listfont mode mode.
100
101              Supported modes are:
102
103              xp-listinternal-printer-fonts
104                     If xp-listinternal-printer-fonts was set (via option -b
105                     or -x xp-listinternal-printer-fonts xlsfonts will include
106                     all of the fonts defined as internal printer fonts.
107
108              xp-list-glyph-fonts
109                     If xp-list-glyph-fonts was set (via option -g or -x
110                     xp-list-glyph-fonts) xlsfonts will include all of the
111                     fonts available to the server which have glyphs associ‐
112                     ated with them.
113
114
115       The default value is implicitly determined by the ddx driver to be the
116       all of the listfonts modes specified in the xp-listfonts-modes-sup‐
117       ported printer attribute.
118
119
120       The value of xp-listfonts-modes-supported and xp-listfonts-modes (the
121       defaults) can be looked-up via xplsprinters(1).
122
123
124       (printer mode only)
125
126       -X mode
127              Disable listfont mode mode.  See option -x for a list of valid
128              mode values.
129
130              (printer mode only)
131
132       -fn pattern
133              This option specifies the font name pattern to match.
134

ENVIRONMENT

140       DISPLAY
141              DISPLAY must be set to get the default host and display to use.
142
143       XPSERVERLIST
144              XPSERVERLIST must be set for the -printer option identifying the
145              available Xprint servers.  See Xprint(7) for more details.
146

BUGS

148       Doing ``xlsfonts -l'' can tie up your server for a very long time.
149       This is really a bug with single-threaded non-preemptable servers, not
150       with this program.
