fslsfonts - list fonts served by X font server
fslsfonts [-options ...] [-fn pattern]
fslsfonts lists the fonts that match the given pattern. The
wildcard character "*" may be used to match any sequence of
characters (including none), and "?" 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.

Doing ``fslsfonts -l'' can tie up your server for a very long time. This is
really a bug with single-threaded non-preemptable servers, not with this
program.
