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

     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.
