fslsfonts(X)


fslsfonts -- display font list for X font server

Syntax

fslsfonts [-1] [-C] [-l[l[l]]] [-m] [-n] [-server host:port] [-u] [-w width] [-fn pattern]

Description

fslsfonts contacts the X font server to obtain a list of the fonts that match the given pattern. The wildcard character (*) may be used to match any sequence of characters (including none), and ``?'' may be used to match any single character. If no pattern is given, ``*'' is assumed.

Options


-1 (one)
indicates that listings should use a single column. This is the same as -n 1.

-C
indicates that listings should use multiple columns. This is the same as -n 0.

-l[l[l]]
indicates that medium, long, and very long listings, respectively, should be generated for each font.

-m
indicates that long listings should also print the minimum and maximum bounds of each font.

-n columns
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.

-server host:port
specifies the X font server to contact. host specifies the host machine name where the X font server is running and port is set to 7000 by default.

-u
indicates that the output should be left unsorted.

-w width
specifies the width in characters that should be used in figuring out how many columns to print. The default is 79.

-fn pattern
specifies the font name. The wildcard character (*) may be used to match any sequence of characters (including none), and ``?'' to match any single character. If the -fn option is not specified, ``*'' is assumed. The ``*'' and ``?'' characters must be quoted to prevent them from being expanded by the shell.

Environment variables


FONTSERVER
can be specified in place of the -server option to specify the X font server to contact.

Known limitations

fslsfonts -l can tie up your server for a very long time. This is limitation of single-threaded non-preemptable servers.
