xlsfonts - server font list displayer for X
xlsfonts kx [-display

xlsfonts kx -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]
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).
- -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-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.
