NAME

xlsfonts - server font list displayer for X

SYNOPSIS

xlsfonts [-options ...] [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 This option indicates that a long listing 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. 

−1 This option indicates that listings should use a single column. 

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-preemptible servers, not with this program.
