.TH XFD 1 "1 January 1986" "X Version 10"
.SH NAME
xfd - X window system font displayer
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B xfd
[ =\fIgeometry\fP ] [ \fIhost\fP:\fInumber\fP ] [ options ] fontname
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Xfd
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 character defined in the font.
.PP
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 \fI/usr/new/lib/X/font/\fP.  If
the name does begin with ``/'', the X server treats it as an absolute
pathname of a file containing a font.
.PP
If no font name is given on the command line, 
.I xfd
displays the font ``vtsingle''.
.PP
The window stays around until the xfd process is killed  or a mouse button is pressed on the window.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
.TP 8
.B \fIhost\fP:\fIdisplay\fP
Normally,
.I xfd
gets the host and display number to use from the environment
variable ``DISPLAY''.  One can, however specify them explicitly.
The
.I host
specifies which machine to create the window on, and
the
.I display
argument specifies the display number.
For example,
``orpheus:1'' creates a shell window on display one on the machine
orpheus.
