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 (includ-
       ing  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
       -server host:port
	       This option specifies the X font server to contact.


       -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 col-
	       umn.  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 display-
	       ing  the	 output.  The default is 0, which 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.

ENVIRONMENT
       FONTSERVER
	       to get the default host and port to use.

BUGS
       Doing ''fslsfonts -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.
