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 "?" may be used 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.  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. 

SEE ALSO

X(1), Xserver(1), xfd(1), xset(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.
