Syntax
showfont [-bitmap_pad#]

[-noprops] [-pad#]
[-server host:port]
[-start first_char] [-unit#]

Description
showfont
displays data about the font that matches the given fontname.
fontname can be determined using fslsfonts.
fslsfonts contacts the X font server to obtain a list of the
fonts that match the given fontname.
The wildcard character (
) may be used to match any sequence of
characters (including none), and ``?'' may be used
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
-bitmap_pad#-
specifies the bitmap padding unit of the font (must be 0, 1, or 2,
where 0 is ImageRectMin, 1 is ImageRectMaxWidth
and 2 is ImageRectMaxWidth).
-end last_char-
indicates the end of the range of the characters to display.
-extents_only-
indicates that only the font's extents should be displayed.
-l-
sets the font bit order to least significant bit first.
The left-most bit on the screen will be in the lowest valued bit in
each unit.
-L-
sets the font byte order to least significant byte first. All multi-byte data
in the file (metrics, bitmaps, and so forth) will be written least
significant byte first.
-m-
sets the font bit order to most significant bit first.
Bits for each glyph will be placed in this order; that is, the left-most bit
on the screen will be in the highest valued bit in each unit.
-M-
sets the font byte order to most significant byte first. All multi-byte data
in the file (metrics, bitmaps, and so forth) will be written most
significant byte first.
-noprops-
indicates that font properties should not be displayed.
-pad#-
specifies the scanpad unit of the font (1, 2, 4 or 8).
-startfirst_char-
indicates the start of the range of the characters to display.
-u-
indicates that the output should be left unsorted.
-unit#-
is set to 7000 by default.
-fn fontname-
specifies the font for which a BDF file should
be generated. Use fslsfonts
to determine the font name you wish to generate.
Environment variables
FONTSERVER-
can be specified in place of the -server option to specify the X font
server to contact.
