+.SH NAME
+x11fonts \- search and display fonts.
+
+.SH SYNTAX 
+x11fonts [options] [name_patterns]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+Display the font for each font name found in the current font search path
+which matches a given name_pattern.
+Each name_pattern may contain wild-card (*) characters, (but
+names with wild-cards should be quoted to escape the shell).
+The default name_pattern is "*", meaning all fontnames.
+
+Each font is displayed in an X window in the form:
+
+.nf
+    [m/n]   <full fontname>
+
+     <alphabet>
+.fi
+
+showing the m'th font out of n fonts which match the current name_pattern.
+The pointer is used to click through the fonts which match each given name_pattern
+as follows:
+
+.nf
+    left button
+.fi
+
+Clear the last font displayed and
+display the font for the next fontname in its place.
+
+.nf
+    centre button
+.fi
+
+Display the font for the next fontname beneath the last font
+displayed. This is used to store particular fonts for comparison with others.
+When successive fonts have filled the window
+it is cleared and the last font is re-displayed at the top of
+the window.
+
+.nf
+    right button
+.fi
+
+Begin the next name_pattern.
