XLSFONTS(1X11)          COMMAND REFERENCE          XLSFONTS(1X11)



NAME
     xlsfonts - server font list displayer for X

SYNOPSIS
     xlsfonts [-options ...] [-fn pattern]

     This is a user-contributed client.

DESCRIPTION
     The font list displayer 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.  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(1x11), xfd(1x11), Xserver(1x11), and xset(1x11).

ENVIRONMENT
     DISPLAY        To get the default host and display to use.

CAVEATS
     Running the command 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.
