The X utility
.B showfont
displays data about each font that matches
.IR pattern ,
which can contain the wildcard characters `*' and `?'.
(For details on wildcards characters, see the entry in the \*(CO Lexicon on
.BR wildcards .)
If the command line gives no
.IR pattern ,
.B showfont
assumes `*'.
.SH Options
.B showfont
recognizes the following command-line options:
.IP \fB\-bitmap_pad\fIN\fR
Set the bitmap padding unit of the font.
.I N
must be 0 (\fBImageRectMin\fR),
1 (\fBImageRectMaxWidth\fR), or 2 is (\fBImageRectMaxWidth\fR).
.IP \fB\-end\fIN\fR
Stop displaying characters with the character whose ASCII value is
.IR N .
.IP "\fB\-extents_only\fR"
Display only the font's extents.
.IP \fB\-l\fR
The bit order of the font is least-significant-bit first (LSBFirst).
.IP \fB\-L\fR
Same as
.BR \-l .
.IP \fB\-m\fR
The bit order of the font is most-significant-bit first (MSBFirst).
.IP \fB\-M\fR
Same as
.BR \-m .
.IP "\fB\-server \fIhost\fB:\fIport\fR"
Run the program on
.IR host .
.IP \fB\-start\fIN\fR
Start displaying characters in the font beginning with character with
ASCII code
.IR N .
.IP \fB\-unit\fIN\fR
Set the scanline unit of the font.
.I N
must be 1, 2, 4, or 8.
