XFONTSEL(1) manual page
Table of Contents
xfontsel - point and click selection of
X11 font names
xfontsel [-toolkitoption ...] [-pattern fontname] [-print]
[-sample text] [-sample16 text16] [-sampleUCS textUCS] [-scaled]
The
xfontsel application provides a simple way to display the fonts known to
your X server, examine samples of each, and retrieve the X Logical Font
Description ("XLFD") full name for a font.
If -pattern is not specified,
all fonts with XLFD 14-part names will be selectable. To work with only
a subset of the fonts, specify -pattern followed by a partially or fully
qualified font name; e.g., ``-pattern *medium*'' will select that subset of fonts
which contain the string ``medium'' somewhere in their font name. Be careful
about escaping wildcard characters in your shell.
If -print is specified
on the command line the selected font specifier will be written to standard
output when the quit button is activated. Regardless of whether or not
-print was specified, the font specifier may be made the PRIMARY (text)
selection by activating the select button.
The -sample option specifies the
sample text to be used to display the selected font if the font is linearly
indexed, overriding the default.
The -sample16 option specifies the sample
text to be used to display the selected font if the font is matrix encoded,
overriding the default.
The -sampleUCS option specifies the sample text encoded
in the UTF-8 form to be used to display the selected font if the font has
a CHARSET_REGISTRY of ISO10646, overriding the default.
The -scaled option
enables the ability to select scaled fonts at arbitrary pixel or point
sizes.
Clicking any pointer button in one of the XLFD field
names will pop up a menu of the currently-known possibilities for that field.
If previous choices of other fields were made, only values for fonts which
matched the previously selected fields will be selectable; to make other
values selectable, you must deselect some other field(s) by choosing the
``*'' entry in that field. Unselectable values may be omitted from the menu
entirely as a configuration option; see the ShowUnselectable resource,
below. Whenever any change is made to a field value, xfontsel will assert
ownership of the PRIMARY_FONT selection. Other applications (see, e.g., xterm)
may then retrieve the selected font specification.
Scalable fonts come back
from the server with zero for the pixel size, point size, and average width
fields. Selecting a font name with a zero in these positions results in
an implementation-dependent size. Any pixel or point size can be selected
to scale the font to a particular size. Any average width can be selected
to anamorphically scale the font (although you may find this challenging
given the size of the average width menu).
Clicking the left pointer button
in the select widget will cause the currently selected font name to become
the PRIMARY text selection as well as the PRIMARY_FONT selection. This then
allows you to paste the string into other applications. The select button
remains highlighted to remind you of this fact, and de-highlights when some
other application takes the PRIMARY selection away. The select widget is
a toggle; pressing it when it is highlighted will cause xfontsel to release
the selection ownership and de-highlight the widget. Activating the select
widget twice is the only way to cause xfontsel to release the PRIMARY_FONT
selection.
The application class is XFontSel. Most of the user-interface
is configured in the app-defaults file; if this file is missing a warning
message will be printed to standard output and the resulting window will
be nearly incomprehensible.
Most of the significant parts of the widget
hierarchy are documented in the app-defaults file (normally <XRoot>/lib/X11/app-defaults/XFontSel,
where <XRoot> refers to the root of the X11 install tree.)
Application specific
resources:
- cursor (class Cursor)
- Specifies the cursor for the application
window.
- pattern (class Pattern)
- Specifies the font name pattern for selecting
a subset of available fonts. Equivalent to the -pattern option. Most useful
patterns will contain at least one field delimiter; e.g. ``*-m-*'' for monospaced
fonts.
- pixelSizeList (class PixelSizeList)
- Specifies a list of pixel sizes
to add to the pixel size menu, so that scalable fonts can be selected at
those pixel sizes. The default pixelSizeList contains 7, 30, 40, 50, and
60.
- pointSizeList (class PointSizeList)
- Specifies a list of point sizes
(in units of tenths of points) to add to the point size menu, so that scalable
fonts can be selected at those point sizes. The default pointSizeList contains
250, 300, 350, and 400.
- printOnQuit (class PrintOnQuit)
- If True the currently
selected font name is printed to standard output when the quit button is
activated. Equivalent to the -print option.
- sampleText (class Text)
- The sample
1-byte text to use for linearly indexed fonts. Each glyph index is a single
byte, with newline separating lines.
- sampleText16 (class Text16)
- The sample
2-byte text to use for matrix-encoded fonts. Each glyph index is two bytes,
with a 1-byte newline separating lines.
- scaledFonts (class ScaledFonts)
- If
True then selection of arbitrary pixel and point sizes for scalable fonts
is enabled.
Widget specific resources:
- showUnselectable (class ShowUnselectable)
- Specifies, for each field menu, whether or not to show values that are
not currently selectable, based upon previous field selections. If shown,
the unselectable values are clearly identified as such and do not highlight
when the pointer is moved down the menu. The full name of this resource
is fieldN.menu.options.showUnselectable, class MenuButton.SimpleMenu.Options.ShowUnselectable;
where N is replaced with the field number (starting with the left-most field
numbered 0). The default is True for all but field 11 (average width of
characters in font) and False for field 11. If you never want to see unselectable
entries, '*menu.options.showUnselectable:False' is a reasonable thing to specify
in a resource file.
$XFILESEARCHPATH/XFontSel
xrdb(1)
, xfd(1)
Sufficiently ambiguous patterns can be misinterpreted
and lead to an initial selection string which may not correspond to what
the user intended and which may cause the initial sample text output to
fail to match the proffered string. Selecting any new field value will
correct the sample output, though possibly resulting in no matching font.
Should be able to return a FONT for the PRIMARY selection, not just a STRING.
Any change in a field value will cause xfontsel to assert ownership of
the PRIMARY_FONT selection. Perhaps this should be parameterized.
When running
on a slow machine, it is possible for the user to request a field menu
before the font names have been completely parsed. An error message indicating
a missing menu is printed to stderr but otherwise nothing bad (or good)
happens.
The average-width menu is too large to be useful.
