XLSFONTS(1)                     X11 5.4R3.00                     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.

       -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 ListFontsWithInfo 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.
