NAME
     xlsfonts - server font list displayer for X

SYNOPSIS
     xlsfonts [-options ...] [-fn pattern]

DESCRIPTION
     Xlsfonts 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.

OPTIONS
     -display host:dpy
             This option specifies the X server to contact.

     -l[l[l]]
             This option indicates that medium, long, and very
             long listings, respectively, should be generated for
             each font.

     -m      This option indicates that long listings should also
             print the minimum and maximum bounds of each font.

     -C      This option indicates that listings should use mul-
             tiple columns.  This is the same as -n 0.

     -1      This option indicates that listings should use a
             single column.  This is the same as -n 1.

     -w width
             This option specifies the width in characters that
             should be used in figuring out how many columns to
             print.  The default is 79.

     -n columns
             This option specifies the number of columns to use
             in displaying the output.  By default, it will
             attempt to fit as many columns of font names into
             the number of character specified by -w width.

     -u      This option indicates that the output should be left
             unsorted.

     -o      This option indicates that xlsfonts should do an
             OpenFont (and QueryFont, if appropriate) 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).

ENVIRONMENT
     DISPLAY 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.
