XLSFONTS(1)                 X Version 11(Release 5)                 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.
