NAME
       xlsfonts - server font list displayer for X

SYNOPSIS
       xlsfonts [-display host:dpy] [-l] [-ll] [-lll] [-m] [-C]
       [-1] [-w width] [-n columns] [-u] [-o] [-fn pattern]
       xlsfonts -printer printername [-l] [-ll] [-lll] [-m] [-C]
       [-1] [-w width] [-n columns] [-u] [-o] [-r resolution]
       [-b] [-B] [-g] [-G] [-x mode] [-X mode] [-fn pattern]

DESCRIPTION
       xlsfonts 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
       -display host:dpy
              This option specifies the X server to contact.

       -printer printername
              This option specifies the Xprint printer to con-
              tact.

       -d host:dpy
              Same as -display host:dpy.

       -p printername
              Same as -printer printername.

       -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 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 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 into
              the number of character 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).

       -r resolutionname
              Set print resolution name (usually values like
              300dpi or 300x600, see output of xplsprinters).
              This may alter the output of xlsfonts if there are
              printer fonts which get enabled/disabled on per-
              resolution basis by the DDX.

              (printer mode only)

       -b     List printer builtin fonts.  This is the same as -x
              xp-list-internal-printer-fonts.

              (printer mode only)

       -B     Do not list printer builtin fonts.  This is the
              same as -X xp-list-internal-printer-fonts.

              (printer mode only)

       -g     List glyph fonts.  This is the same as -x
              xp-list-glyph-fonts.

              (printer mode only)

       -G     Do not list glyph fonts.  This is the same as -X
              xp-list-glyph-fonts.

              (printer mode only)

       -x mode
              Enable listfont mode mode.

              Supported modes are:

              xp-listinternal-printer-fonts
                     If xp-listinternal-printer-fonts was set
                     (via option -b or -x

                     xp-listinternal-printer-fonts xlsfonts will
                     include all of the fonts defined as internal
                     printer fonts.

              xp-list-glyph-fonts
                     If xp-list-glyph-fonts was set (via option
                     -g or -x xp-list-glyph-fonts) xlsfonts will
                     include all of the fonts available to the
                     server which have glyphs associated with
                     them.


       The default value is implicitly determined by the ddx
       driver to be the all of the listfonts modes specified in
       the xp-listfonts-modes-supported printer attribute.


       The value of xp-listfonts-modes-supported and xp-list-
       fonts-modes (the defaults) can be looked-up via xplsprint-
       ers(1).


       (printer mode only)

       -X mode
              Disable listfont mode mode.  See option -x for a
              list of valid mode values.

              (printer mode only)

       -fn pattern
              This option specifies the font name pattern to
              match.

ENVIRONMENT
       DISPLAY
              DISPLAY must be set to get the default host and
              display to use.

       XPSERVERLIST
              XPSERVERLIST must be set for the -printer option
              identifying the available Xprint servers.  See
              Xprint(7) for more details.

BUGS
       Doing ``xlsfonts -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.
