 Name

    fslsfonts - display font list for X font server

 Syntax


    fslsfonts [-1] [-C] [-l[l[l]]] [-m] [-n] [-server host:port] [-u] [-w]
    [-fn pattern]


 Description

    fslsfonts contacts the X font server to obtain a list of the fonts that
    match the given pattern.  The wildcard character ``*'' may be used to
    match any sequence of characters (including none), and ``?'' may be used
    to match any single character.  If no pattern is given, ``*'' is assumed.

 Options


    -1 (one)       indicates that listings should use a single column.  This
                   is the same as -n 1.

    -C             indicates that listings should use multiple columns.  This
                   is the same as -n 0.

    -l[l[l]]       indicates that medium, long, and very long listings,
                   respectively, should be generated for each font.

    -m             indicates that long listings should also print the minimum
                   and maximum bounds of each font.

    -n columns     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 speci-
                   fied by -w width.

    -server host:port
                   specifies the X font server to contact.  host specifies
                   the host machine name where the X font server is running
                   and port is set to 7000 by default.

    -u             indicates that the output should be left unsorted.

    -w width       specifies the width in characters that should be used in
                   figuring out how many columns to print.  The default is
                   79.

    -fn pattern    specifies the font name.  The wildcard character ``*'' may
                   be used to match any sequence of characters (including
                   none), and ``?''  to match any single character.  If the
                   -fn option is not specified, ``*'' is assumed.  The ``*''
                   and ``?'' characters must be quoted to prevent them from
                   being expanded by the shell.


 Environment


    FONTSERVER     can be specified in place of the -server option to specify
                   the X font server to contact.


 Known limitations

    fslsfonts -l can tie up your server for a very long time.  This is limi-
    tation of single-threaded non-preemptable servers.
