NAME
     xlsfonts - server font list displayer for X

SYNOPSIS
     xlsfonts [-options ...] [-fn pattern]

DESCRIPTION
     _X_l_s_f_o_n_t_s lists the fonts that match the given _p_a_t_t_e_r_n.   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 _h_o_s_t:_d_p_y
             This option specifies the X server to contact.

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

     -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  mul-
             tiple 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 _w_i_d_t_h
             This option specifies the width in  characters  that
             should  be  used in figuring out how many columns to
             print.  The default is 79.

     -n _c_o_l_u_m_n_s
             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 _w_i_d_t_h.

     preemptable servers, not with this program.
