[-1] [-w width] [-n columns] [-u]
[-o] [-fn pattern]
xlsfonts -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]
DESCRIPTION
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.
OPTIONS
- -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.

ENVIRONMENT
- 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.
BUGS
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.
