XFBROWS(1) X Version 11 XFBROWS(1) 1 July 1991 NAME xfbrows - X11 font browser [Version 2.1] SYNOPSIS xfbrows [-display disp] [-iconic] [-geometry geom] [-icongeom geom] [-bg background] [-fg foreground] [-bw width] [-fs fontsubstring] DESCRIPTION Xfbrows is a simple font browser for X11. When the window opens, it will display all fonts the server knows in a scrollable list. Simply click a fontname (or type one in, with wildcard too) and a window will come up showing you the font in a scrollable list. Click any character in the list to find out the ASCII-value of this character. Click the OK-Button to leave this window. Clicking ABOUT will display a window showing author and copyright information. Click OK to leave this window. You can specify a string to limit the fonts to be included in the list by typing this string and clicking the LIMIT-Button. For example: to show only the fonts with "medium" in the name, specify "*medium*" in the typing line and then click LIMIT. If the font list is limited, you can't select a fontname by typing it's name. Click COMPLETE to complete the font list. Click QUIT to leave the application.
