NAME
       showfont - font dumper for X font server

SYNOPSIS
       showfont [ -options ... ] -fn pattern

DESCRIPTION
       Showfont	 displays  data	 about a font that matches the given pattern.
       The information shown  includes	font  information,  font  properties,
       character metrics, and character bitmaps.

       The  wildcard character "*" can be used to match any sequence of char-
       acters (including none) in the font name, and "?" can be used to match
       any  single  character.	 The "*" and "?" characters must be quoted to
       prevent them from being expanded by  the	 shell.	  If  no  pattern  is
       given, "*" is assumed.
