13                width] [-n columns] [-u] [-o] [-r resolution] [-b] [-B] [-g]

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

26       -display host:dpy
27              This option specifies the X server to contact.
28
29       -printer printername
30              This option specifies the Xprint printer to contact.
31
32       -d host:dpy
33              Same as -display host:dpy.
34
35       -p printername
36              Same as -printer printername.
37
38       -l     Lists some attributes of the font on one line in addition to its
39              name.
40
41       -ll    Lists font properties in addition to -l output.
42
43       -lll   Lists character metrics in addition to -ll output.
44
45       -m     This  option  indicates that long listings should also print the
46              minimum and maximum bounds of each font.
47
48       -C     This option indicates that listings should use multiple columns.
49              This is the same as -n 0.
50
51       -1     This  option indicates that listings should use a single column.
52              This is the same as -n 1.
53
54       -w width
55              This option specifies the width in  characters  that  should  be
56              used  in figuring out how many columns to print.  The default is
57              79.
58
59       -n columns
60              This option specifies the number of columns to use in displaying
61              the  output.  By default, it will attempt to fit as many columns
62              of font names into the  number  of  character  specified  by  -w
63              width.
64
65       -u     This option indicates that the output should be left unsorted.
66
67       -o     This  option  indicates that xlsfonts should do an OpenFont (and
68              QueryFont, if appropriate) rather than  a  ListFonts.   This  is
69              useful  if  ListFonts  or ListFontsWithInfo fail to list a known
70              font (as is the case with some scaled font systems).
71
72       -r resolutionname
73              Set  print  resolution  name  (usually  values  like  300dpi  or
74              300x600, see output of xplsprinters).  This may alter the output
75              of xlsfonts if there are printer fonts  which  get  enabled/dis‐
76              abled on per-resolution basis by the DDX.
77
78              (printer mode only)
79
80       -b     List   printer   builtin   fonts.    This  is  the  same  as  -x
81              xp-list-internal-printer-fonts.
82
83              (printer mode only)
84
85       -B     Do not list printer builtin fonts.   This  is  the  same  as  -X
86              xp-list-internal-printer-fonts.
87
88              (printer mode only)
89
90       -g     List glyph fonts.  This is the same as -x xp-list-glyph-fonts.
91
92              (printer mode only)
93
94       -G     Do   not   list   glyph   fonts.    This   is  the  same  as  -X
95              xp-list-glyph-fonts.
96
97              (printer mode only)
98
99       -x mode
100              Enable listfont mode mode.
101
102              Supported modes are:
103
104              xp-listinternal-printer-fonts
105                     If xp-listinternal-printer-fonts was set (via  option  -b
106                     or -x xp-listinternal-printer-fonts xlsfonts will include
107                     all of the fonts defined as internal printer fonts.
108
109              xp-list-glyph-fonts
110                     If xp-list-glyph-fonts was  set  (via  option  -g  or  -x
111                     xp-list-glyph-fonts)  xlsfonts  will  include  all of the
112                     fonts available to the server which have  glyphs  associ‐
113                     ated with them.
114
115
116       The  default value is implicitly determined by the ddx driver to be the
117       all of the listfonts modes  specified  in  the  xp-listfonts-modes-sup‐
118       ported printer attribute.
119
120
121       The  value  of xp-listfonts-modes-supported and xp-listfonts-modes (the
122       defaults) can be looked-up via xplsprinters(1x).
123
124
125       (printer mode only)
126
127       -X mode
128              Disable listfont mode mode.  See option -x for a list  of  valid
129              mode values.
130
131              (printer mode only)
132
133       -fn pattern
134              This option specifies the font name pattern to match.
135

ENVIRONMENT

141       DISPLAY
142              DISPLAY must be set to get the default host and display to use.
143
144       XPSERVERLIST
145              XPSERVERLIST must be set for the -printer option identifying the
146              available Xprint servers.  See Xprint(7) for more details.
147

BUGS

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