NAME
       xlsfonts - server font list displayer for X

SYNOPSIS
       xlsfonts [-display host:dpy] [-l] [-ll] [-lll] [-m] [-C] [-1] [-w
       width] [-n columns] [-u] [-o] [-fn pattern]
       xlsfonts -printer printername [-l] [-ll] [-lll] [-m] [-C] [-1] [-w
       width] [-n columns] [-u] [-o] [-r resolution] [-b] [-B] [-g] [-G] [-x
       mode] [-X mode] [-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.

       -printer printername
	      This option specifies the Xprint printer to contact.

       -d host:dpy
	      Same as -display host:dpy.

       -p printername
	      Same as -printer printername.

       -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).

       -r resolutionname
	      Set print resolution name (usually values like 300dpi or
	      300x600, see output of xplsprinters).  This may alter the output
	      of xlsfonts if there are printer fonts which get enabled/dis‐
	      abled on per-resolution basis by the DDX.

	      (printer mode only)

       -b     List printer builtin fonts.  This is the same as -x
	      xp-list-internal-printer-fonts.

	      (printer mode only)

       -B     Do not list printer builtin fonts.  This is the same as -X
	      xp-list-internal-printer-fonts.

	      (printer mode only)

       -g     List glyph fonts.	 This is the same as -x xp-list-glyph-fonts.

	      (printer mode only)

       -G     Do not list glyph fonts.	This is the same as -X
	      xp-list-glyph-fonts.

	      (printer mode only)

       -x mode
	      Enable listfont mode mode.

	      Supported modes are:

	      xp-listinternal-printer-fonts
		     If xp-listinternal-printer-fonts was set (via option -b
		     or -x xp-listinternal-printer-fonts xlsfonts will include
		     all of the fonts defined as internal printer fonts.

	      xp-list-glyph-fonts
		     If xp-list-glyph-fonts was set (via option -g or -x
		     xp-list-glyph-fonts) xlsfonts will include all of the
		     fonts available to the server which have glyphs associ‐
		     ated with them.

       The default value is implicitly determined by the ddx driver to be the
       all of the listfonts modes specified in the xp-listfonts-modes-sup‐
       ported printer attribute.

       The value of xp-listfonts-modes-supported and xp-listfonts-modes (the
       defaults) can be looked-up via xplsprinters(1).

       (printer mode only)

       -X mode
	      Disable listfont mode mode.  See option -x for a list of valid
	      mode values.

	      (printer mode only)

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

ENVIRONMENT
       DISPLAY
	      DISPLAY must be set to get the default host and display to use.

       XPSERVERLIST
	      XPSERVERLIST must be set for the -printer option identifying the
	      available Xprint servers.	 See Xprint(7) for more details.

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.
