xlsfonts(X)                     19 June 1992                     xlsfonts(X)


 Name

    xlsfonts - server font list displayer for X

 Syntax

    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 (includ-
    ing 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 characters specified by -w
            width.

 Environment variables


    DISPLAY to get the default host and display to use.

 Known limitations

    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.
