XLSFONTS(1)                          BSD                           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      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), xset(1), xfd(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.
