NAME
       xlsfonts - server font list displayer for X

SYNOPSIS
       xlsfonts [-options...] [-fn pattern]

OPTIONS
       This  option  specifies the X server to contact.	 Lists some attributes
       of the font on one line in addition to its name.	 Lists font properties
       in  addition  to -l output.  Lists character metrics in addition to -ll
       output.	This option indicates that long listings should also print the
       minimum	and  maximum  bounds of each font.  This option indicates that
       listings should use multiple columns.  This is the same as -n 0.	  This
       option indicates that listings should use a single column.  This is the
       same as -n 1.  This option  specifies  the  width  in  characters  that
       should  be used in figuring out how many columns to print.  The default
       is 79.  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.	  This
       option  indicates that the output should be left unsorted.  This option
       indicates that xlsfonts should do an OpenFont (and QueryFont, if appro‐
       priate)	rather than a ListFonts.  This is useful if ListFonts or List‐
       FontsWithInfo fail to list a known font	(as  is	 the  case  with  some
       scaled  font  systems).	This option specifies the font name pattern to
       match.

DESCRIPTION
       The xlsfonts command 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.

ENVIRONMENT
       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.
