Subject: How to display X fonts with a typographical font sample
Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2012 10:24:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2ACC1A78-4E36-451A-AAD8-7734045FD5FD@letterboxes.org> (raw)

Hi there

This is probably an X beginners question.

I want to see the fonts which are installed on my X system. I tried  
xlsfonts, but as a command line tool it only lists the *names* of the  
fonts not a *font sample*.

Hoe do I get a list of the fonts with some text written in that  
particular font? is there an X program for this?

Many thanks, Leo
