NAME
       showfont - font dumper for X font server

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

DESCRIPTION
       Showfont displays data about the font that matches 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.
