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.

- Same as -display host:dpy.
- -l
- Lists some attributes of the font on one line in additionto its name.
- -ll
- Lists font properties in addition to -l output.
- -lll
- Lists character metrics in addition to -ll output.

- This option indicates that long listings should also printthe 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 beused in figuring out how many columns to print.The default is 79.
- -n columns
- This option specifies the number of columns to use indisplaying the output. By default, it will attempt tofit as many columns of font names into the number ofcharacter specified by -w width.
- -u
- This option indicates that the output should be left unsorted.
- -o

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