NAME

       fslsfonts - list fonts served by X font server

SYNOPSIS

       fslsfonts [-options ...] [-fn pattern]

DESCRIPTION

       fslsfonts  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

       -server servername
               This option specifies the X font server to contact.  servername
               must be specified in one of the formats  defined  in  the  Font
               Server  Names  section  of X(7).   If not specified, the server
               name in the FONTSERVER environment variable is used.

       -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    Supported  for  compatibility  with xlsfonts, but output is the
               same as for -ll.

       -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.  The default is 0, which 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.

ENVIRONMENT

       FONTSERVER
               To  get  the  default  fontserver.   The  server  name  must be
               specified in one of the formats  defined  in  the  Font  Server
               Names section of X(7).

SEE ALSO

       xfs(1), showfont(1), xlsfonts(1), X(7).

BUGS

       Doing  ‘‘fslsfonts  -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.
