NAME
       xfs - X font server

SYNOPSIS
       xfs [-config configuration_file] [-port tcp_port]

DESCRIPTION
       Xfs  is the X Window System font server.	 It supplies fonts to X Window
       System display servers.

STARTING THE SERVER
       The server is usually run by a system administrator,  and  started  via
       boot files like /sbin/init.d/xfs.  Users may also wish to start private
       font servers for specific sets of fonts.

OPTIONS
       -config configuration_file
	       Specifies the configuration file the font server will use.

       -ls listen-socket
	       Specifies a file descriptor which is already set up to be  used
	       as  the listen socket.  This option is only intended to be used
	       by the font server itself when automatically  spawning  another
	       copy of itself to handle additional connections.

       -port tcp_port
	       Specifies  the  TCP port number on which the server will listen
	       for connections.

SIGNALS
       SIGTERM This causes the font server to exit cleanly.

       SIGUSR1 This signal is used to cause the server to re-read its configu‐
	       ration file.

       SIGUSR2 This  signal  is	 used  to cause the server to flush any cached
	       data it may have.

       SIGHUP  This signal is used to cause the server to reset,  closing  all
	       active connections and re-reading the configuration file.

CONFIGURATION
       The  configuration language is a list of keyword and value pairs.  Each
       keyword is followed by an '=' and then the desired value.

       Recognized keywords include:

       catalogue (list of string)
	      Ordered list of font path element names.	 Use  of  the  keyword
	      "catalogue" is very misleading at present, the current implemen‐
	      tation only supports a single catalogue ("all"), containing  all
	      of the specified fonts.

       alternate-servers (list of string)
	      List of alternate servers for this font server.

       client-limit (cardinal)
	      Number  of clients this font server will support before refusing
	      service.	This is useful for tuning the load on each  individual
	      font server.

       clone-self (boolean)
	      Whether  this font server should attempt to clone itself when it
	      reachs the client-limit.

       default-point-size (cardinal)
	      The default pointsize (in decipoints) for fonts that don't spec‐
	      ify.  The default is 120.

       default-resolutions (list of resolutions)
	      Resolutions  the	server	supports by default.  This information
	      may be used as a hint for	 pre-rendering,	 and  substituted  for
	      scaled fonts which do not specify a resolution.  A resolution is
	      a comma-separated pair of x and  y  resolutions  in  pixels  per
	      inch.  Multiple resolutions are separated by commas.

       error-file (string)
	      Filename	of  the	 error	file.  All warnings and errors will be
	      logged here.

       port (cardinal)
	      TCP port on which the server will listen for connections.

       use-syslog (boolean)
	      Whether syslog(3) (on supported  systems)	 is  to	 be  used  for
	      errors.

       deferglyphs (string)
	      Set  the mode for delayed fetching and caching of glyphs.	 Value
	      is "none", meaning deferred glyphs is disabled,  "all",  meaning
	      it  is  enabled  for  all fonts, and "16", meaning it is enabled
	      only for 16-bits fonts.

EXAMPLE
       #
       # sample font server configuration file
       #

       # allow a max of 10 clients to connect to this font server
       client-limit = 10

       # when a font server reaches its limit, start up a new one
       clone-self = on

       # alternate font servers for clients to use
       alternate-servers = hansen:7101,hansen:7102

       # where to look for fonts
       # the first is a set of Speedo outlines, the second is a set of
       # misc bitmaps and the last is a set of 100dpi bitmaps
       #
       catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/speedo,
	    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc,
	    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/

       # in 12 points, decipoints
       default-point-size = 120

       # 100 x 100 and 75 x 75
       default-resolutions = 100,100,75,75
       use-syslog = off

FONT SERVER NAMES
       One of the following forms can be used  to  name	 a  font  server  that
       accepts TCP connections:

	   tcp/hostname:port
	   tcp/hostname:port/cataloguelist

       The  hostname  specifies	 the  name (or decimal numeric address) of the
       machine on which the font server is running.  The port is  the  decimal
       TCP  port  on  which the font server is listening for connections.  The
       cataloguelist specifies a list of catalogue names, with '+' as a	 sepa‐
       rator.

       Examples: tcp/fs.x.org:7100, tcp/18.30.0.212:7101/all.

       One  of	the  following	forms  can  be used to name a font server that
       accepts DECnet connections:

	   decnet/nodename::font$objname
	   decnet/nodename::font$objname/cataloguelist

       The nodename specifies the name (or decimal  numeric  address)  of  the
       machine	on which the font server is running.  The objname is a normal,
       case-insensitive DECnet object name.   The  cataloguelist  specifies  a
       list of catalogue names, with '+' as a separator.

       Examples:  DECnet/SRVNOD::FONT$DEFAULT, decnet/44.70::font$special/sym‐
       bols.

FILES
       The config file for xfs resides in /etc/X11/fs/config.

BUGS
       Multiple catalogues should be supported.
