XFD(1X10)               COMMAND REFERENCE               XFD(1X10)



NAME
     xfd - X window system font displayer

     For 4310, 4320, and 4330 series UTek products only.

     Public domain software distributed by M.I.T. Project Athena.
     Provided by Tektronix as is, without express or implied
     warranty.

     Not supported by Tektronix.

SYNOPSIS
     xfd [ =geometry ] [ host:number ] [ options ] fontname

DESCRIPTION
     The program xfd creates a window which displays all
     characters in the named font.  The characters are displayed
     in increasing ASCII order, 8 to a line, from the first to
     the last character defined in the font.

     The font name is interpreted by the X server.  On a VAX, if
     the name does not begin with ``/'', the X server adds the
     suffix ``.onx'' to it and looks up the font file in the
     directory /usr/new/lib/X/font/.  If the name does begin with
     ``/'', the X server treats it as an absolute pathname of a
     file containing a font.

     If no font name is given on the command line, xfd displays
     the font ``vtsingle''.

     The window stays around until the xfd process is killed  or
     a mouse button is pressed on the window.

OPTIONS
     host:display
             Normally, xfd gets the host and display number to
             use from the environment variable ``DISPLAY''.  One
             can, however specify them explicitly.  The host
             specifies which machine to create the window on, and
             the display argument specifies the display number.
             For example, ``orpheus:1'' creates a shell window on
             display one on the machine orpheus.

     -bw borderwidth
             Allows you to specify the width of the window border
             in pixels.

     -rv     The screen will be displayed with black characters
             on a white background, rather than the default white
             on black.
