NAME
     showfont - font dumper for X font server

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/showfont [ -options ... ] -fn pattern

DESCRIPTION
     Showfont displays data about a font that matches  the  given
     pattern.   The  information shown includes font information,
     font properties, character metrics, and character bitmaps.

     The wildcard character "*" can be used to match any sequence
     of characters (including none) in the font name, and "?" can
     be used to match any single  character.   The  "*"  and  "?"
     characters  must  be  quoted  to  prevent  them  from  being
     expanded by the shell.  If  no  pattern  is  given,  "*"  is
     assumed.
