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]

DESCRIPTION
     xlsfonts 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.

OPTIONS
     -display host:dpy
          This option specifies the X server to contact.

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

     -l   Lists some attributes of the font on one line in addi-
          tion 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 Open-
          Font (and QueryFont, if appropriate) 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).

     -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.

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.
