NAME
fc-match - match available fonts
SYNOPSIS
fc-match [ -asvVh ] [ --all ] [ --sort ] [ --verbose ] [
[ -f format ] [ --format format ] ] [ --version ] [ --
help ]
[ pattern [ element... ] ]
DESCRIPTION
fc-match matches pattern (empty pattern by default) using
the normal fontconfig matching rules to find the best font
available. If --sort is given, the sorted list of best
matching fonts is displayed. The --all option works like
--sort except that no pruning is done on the list of fonts.
If any elements are specified, only those are printed. Oth-
erwise short file name, family, and style are printed,
unless verbose output is requested.
OPTIONS

long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of
options is included below.
-a Displays sorted list of best matching fonts, but do not
do any pruning on the list.
-s Displays sorted list of best matching fonts.
-v Print verbose output of the whole font pattern for each
match, or elements if any is provided.

-V Show version of the program and exit.
