XFD(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual XFD(1) NAME xfd - X window system font displayer SYNOPSIS xfd [ =_g_e_o_m_e_t_r_y ] [ _h_o_s_t:_n_u_m_b_e_r ] [ options ] fontname DESCRIPTION _X_f_d creates a window which displays all characters in the named font. The characters are displayed in increasing ASCII order, 8 to a line, from the first to the last charac- ter defined in the font. The font name is interpreted by the X server. On a VAX, if the name does not begin with ``/'', the X server adds the suffix ``.onx'' to it and looks up the font file in the directory /_u_s_r/_n_e_w/_l_i_b/_X/_f_o_n_t/. If the name does begin with ``/'', the X server treats it as an absolute pathname of a file containing a font. If no font name is given on the command line, _x_f_d displays the font ``vtsingle''. The window stays around until the xfd process is killed or a mouse button is pressed on the window. OPTIONS _h_o_s_t:_d_i_s_p_l_a_y Normally, _x_f_d gets the host and display number to use from the environment variable ``DISPLAY''. One can, however specify them explicitly. The _h_o_s_t specifies which machine to create the window on, and the _d_i_s_p_l_a_y argument specifies the display number. For example, ``orpheus:1'' creates a shell window on display one on the machine orpheus. -bw _b_o_r_d_e_r_w_i_d_t_h Allows you to specify the width of the window border in pixels. -rv The screen will be displayed with black characters on a white background, rather than the default white on black. -fg _c_o_l_o_r On color displays, determines the color of the text. -bg _c_o_l_o_r On color displays, determines the color of the back- ground. -bd _c_o_l_o_r On color displays, determines the color of the Printed 1/10/87 1 January 1986 1 XFD(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual XFD(1) border. =_g_e_o_m_e_t_r_y _X_f_d will also take a standard geometry specification (see X(1)). X DEFAULTS _X_f_d uses a number of standard default values. BorderWidth Set the border width of the window. BorderColor Set the border color of the window. ReverseVideo If ``on'', reverse the definition of foreground and background color. Foreground Set the text color. Background Set the background color.
