DESCRIPTION

13       The information shown includes font information, font properties, char‐
14       acter metrics, and character bitmaps.
15
16       The wildcard character "*" can be used to match any sequence of charac‐
17       ters (including none) in the font name, and "?" can be  used  to  match
18       any  single  character.   The  "*" and "?" characters must be quoted to
19       prevent them from being expanded by the shell.  If no pattern is given,
20       "*" is assumed.
