xlsfonts - server font list displayer for X

xlsfonts kx -printer printername [-l] [-ll] [-lll] [-m] [-C] [-1]

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.
- -display host:dpy
- This option
specifies the X server to contact.
- -printer printername
- This option specifies
the Xprint printer to contact.
- -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 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. 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).
- -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-listfonts-modes
(the defaults) can be looked-up via xplsprinters(1x)
.
(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.

- 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.
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.
