XLSFONTS(1)        X Version 11 (Release 6.6)         XLSFONTS(1)


     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 "?" 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      Lists some attributes of the font on one line in
                  addition to its name.

          -ll     Lists font properties in addition to -l output.

          -lll    Lists character metrics in addition to -ll output.

          -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.

          -u      This option indicates that the output should be left
                  unsorted.

          -o      This option indicates that xlsfonts should do an
                  OpenFont (and QueryFont, if appropriate) rather than
                  a ListFonts.  This is useful if ListFonts or


                  ListFontsWithInfo fail to list a known font (as is
                  the case with some scaled font systems).

          -fn pattern
                  This option specifies the font name pattern to
                  match.

     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-
          preemptable servers, not with this program.
