NAME

6       xlsfonts - server font list displayer for X
7

SYNOPSIS

9       xlsfonts [-display host:dpy] [-l] [-ll] [-lll] [-m] [-C] [-1] [-w
10       width] [-n columns] [-u] [-o] [-fn pattern]
11

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

22       -display host:dpy
23              This option specifies the X server to contact.
24
25       -d host:dpy
26              Same as -display host:dpy.
27
28       -l     Lists some attributes of the font on one line in addition to its
29              name.
30
31       -ll    Lists font properties in addition to -l output.
32
33       -lll   Lists character metrics in addition to -ll output.
34
35       -m     This option indicates that long listings should also print the
36              minimum and maximum bounds of each font.
37
38       -C     This option indicates that listings should use multiple columns.
39              This is the same as -n 0.
40
41       -1     This option indicates that listings should use a single column.
42              This is the same as -n 1.
43
44       -w width
45              This option specifies the width in characters that should be
46              used in figuring out how many columns to print.  The default is
47              79.
48
49       -n columns
50              This option specifies the number of columns to use in displaying
51              the output. By default, it will attempt to fit as many columns
52              of font names into the number of character specified by -w
53              width.
54
55       -u     This option indicates that the output should be left unsorted.
56
57       -o     This option indicates that xlsfonts should do an OpenFont (and
58              QueryFont, if appropriate) rather than a ListFonts.  This is
59              useful if ListFonts or ListFontsWithInfo fail to list a known
60              font (as is the case with some scaled font systems).
61
62       -fn pattern
63              This option specifies the font name pattern to match.

ENVIRONMENT

71              DISPLAY must be set to get the default host and display to use.
72

BUGS

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