SYNOPSISxlsfonts [-options...] [-fn pattern]
OPTIONS
This option specifies the X server to contact. Lists some attributes
of the font on one line in addition to its name. Lists font properties
in addition to -l output. Lists character metrics in addition to -ll
output. This option indicates that long listings should also print the
minimum and maximum bounds of each font. This option indicates that
listings should use multiple columns. This is the same as -n 0. This
option indicates that listings should use a single column. This is the
same as -n 1. This option specifies the width in characters that
should be used in figuring out how many columns to print. The default
is 79. This option specifies the number of columns to use in display‐
ing the output. By default, it will attempt to fit as many columns of
font names into the number of character specified by -w width. This
option indicates that the output should be left unsorted. This option
indicates that xlsfonts should do an OpenFont (and QueryFont, if appro‐
priate) rather than a ListFonts. This is useful if ListFonts or List‐
FontsWithInfo fail to list a known font (as is the case with some
scaled font systems). This option specifies the font name pattern to
match.
DESCRIPTION
The xlsfonts command 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.
ENVIRONMENT
to get the default host and display to use.
BUGS
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.
