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 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 col-
	       umns.  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 display-
	       ing the output.	The default is 0, which will attempt to fit as
	       many  columns of font names into the number of character speci-
	       fied 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	speci-
	       fied  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 single-threaded non-preemptable servers, not
       with this program.
