Because the shell also has special meanings for "*" and "?", wildcarded font names should be quoted, as in: $ xlsfonts -fn '-*-courier-medium-r-normal--*-100-*-**-*-*-*' The xlsfonts program can be used to list all of the fonts that match a given pattern. With no arguments, it lists all available fonts. This will usually list the same font at many different sizes. To see just the base scalable font names, try using one of the following patterns: 0-0-0-0-*-0 0-0-75-75-*-0 0-0-100-100-*-0-*-* To convert one of the resulting names into a font at a specific size, replace one of the firsttwo zeros with a nonzero value. The field containing the first zero is for the pixel size;replace it with a specific height in pixels to name a font at that size. Alternatively, the fieldcontaining the second zero is for the point size; replace it with a specific size in decipoints (there are 722.7 decipoints to the inch) to name a font at that size. The last zero is an average width field, measured in tenths of pixels; some servers will anamorphically scale if this value is specified. Font server names One of the following forms can be used to name a font server that accepts TCP connections: tcp/hostname:port tcp/hostname:port/cataloguelist The hostname specifies the name (or decimal numeric address) of the machine on which the font server is running. The port is the decimal TCP port on which the font server is listening for connections. The cataloguelist specifies a list of catalogue names, with "+" as a separator. For example: tcp/expo.lcs.mit.edu:7000 tcp/18.30.0.212:7001/all Color names Most applications provide ways of tailoring (usually through resources or command-line arguments) the colors of various elements in the text and graphics they display. A color can be specified either by an abstract color name, or by a numerical color specification. Graphics Administration Guide For Red Hat Linux 6.2

Because the shell also has special meanings for "
*
" and "
?
", wildcarded font names
should be quoted, as in:
$ xlsfonts -fn '-*-courier-medium-r-normal--*-100-*-*-
*-*-*-*'
The
xlsfonts
program can be used to list all of the fonts that match a given pattern.
With no arguments, it lists all available fonts. This will usually list the same font at many
different sizes. To see just the base scalable font names, try using one of the following
patterns:
-*-*-*-*-*-*-0-0-0-0-*-0-*-*
-*-*-*-*-*-*-0-0-75-75-*-0-*-*
-*-*-*-*-*-*-0-0-100-100-*-0-*-*
To convert one of the resulting names into a font at a specific size, replace one of the
firsttwo zeros with a nonzero value. The field containing the first zero is for the pixel
size;replace it with a specific height in pixels to name a font at that size. Alternatively,
the fieldcontaining the second zero is for the point size; replace it with a specific size in
decipoints (there are 722.7 decipoints to the inch) to name a font at that size. The last
zero is an average width field, measured in tenths of pixels; some servers will
anamorphically scale if this value is specified.
Font server names
One of the following forms can be used to name a font server that accepts TCP
connections:
tcp/
hostname
:
port
tcp/
hostname
:
port
/
cataloguelist
The
hostname
specifies the name (or decimal numeric address) of the machine on which
the font server is running.
The
port
is the decimal TCP port on which the font server is listening for connections.
The
cataloguelist
specifies a list of catalogue names, with "
+
" as a separator. For
example:
tcp/expo.lcs.mit.edu:7000
tcp/18.30.0.212:7001/all
Color names
Most applications provide ways of tailoring (usually through resources or command-line
arguments) the colors of various elements in the text and graphics they display. A color
can be specified either by an abstract color name, or by a numerical color specification.
