XLSFONTS(1)         X Version 11 (Release 4)          XLSFONTS(1)



  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
               multiple 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.

  SEE ALSO
       X(1), Xserver(1), xset(1), xfd(1)

  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.
