FSLSFONTS(1)                                                                                    FSLSFONTS(1)



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 pat-tern pattern
       tern 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 spec-ified specified
               ified 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  sin-gle-threaded single-threaded
       gle-threaded non-preemptable servers, not with this program.
