XLSFONTS(1)			  X Version 11			     XLSFONTS(1)

NAME
     xlsfonts - list fonts available to X server

SYNOPSIS
     xlsfonts [-display host:dpy] [-l] [-ll] [-lll] [-m] [-C] [-1]
	 [-w width] [-n columns] [-u] [-o] [-fn pattern] [-v]

DESCRIPTION
     xlsfonts lists the fonts available on an X server that match the given pat-
     tern.   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 ex-
     panded 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  addition  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 mini-
	    mum 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 as possible into the number  of  characters  specified  by  -w
	    width.

     -u     This option indicates that the output should be left unsorted.

     -o     This  option  indicates  that  xlsfonts  should  do an OpenFont (and
	    QueryFont, if appropriate) rather than a ListFonts.  This is  useful
	    if	ListFonts  or ListFontsWithInfo 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.

     -v     This option indicates that xlsfonts should	print  out  the  program
	    version and exit.

ENVIRONMENT
     DISPLAY
	    The default host and display to use if neither -d  or  -display  are
	    specified.

BUGS
     Doing  ``xlsfonts -l'' can tie up your X server for a very long time.  This
     is really a bug with single-threaded non-preemptable servers, not with this
     program.
