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 characters (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.
