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  (includ‐
       ing  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 col‐
	       umns.  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 display‐
	       ing 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.

SEE ALSO
       X(1),  Xserver(1),  xset(1), xfd(1), X Logical Font Description Conven‐
       tions

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.
