+.SH NAME
+xfd \- display all the characters in an X font
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B xfd
+[\-options ...] \fB\-fn\fP \fIfontname\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fIxfd\fP utility creates a window containing the name of the font being
+displayed, a row of command buttons, several lines of text for displaying
+character metrics, and a grid containing one glyph per cell. The
+characters are shown in increasing order from left to right, top to
+bottom. The first character displayed at the top left will be character
+number 0 unless the \fB\-start\fP option has been supplied in which case the
+character with the number given in the \fB\-start\fP option will be used.
+.PP
+The characters are displayed in a grid of boxes, each large enough to hold
+any single character in the font. Each character glyph is drawn using
+the PolyText16 request (used by the \fIXlib\fP routine \fBXDrawString16\fP).
+If the \fB\-box\fP option is given, a rectangle will be drawn around each
+character, showing where an ImageText16 request (used by the \fIXlib\fP
+routine \fBXDrawImageString16\fP) would cause background color to be displayed.
+.PP
+The origin of each glyph is normally set so that the character is drawn in
+the upper left hand corner of the grid cell. However, if a glyph has a
+negative left bearing or an unusually large ascent, descent, or right bearing
+(as is the case with \fIcursor\fP font), some character may not appear in their
+own grid cells. The \fB\-center\fP option may be used to force all glyphs to
+be centered in their respective cells.
+.PP
+All the characters in the font may not fit in the window at once.
+To see the next page of glyphs, press the \fINext\fP button at the top
+of the window. To see the previous page, press \fIPrev\fP. To exit \fIxfd\fP,
+press \fIQuit\fP.
+.PP
+Individual character metrics (index, width, bearings, ascent and descent) can
+be displayed at the top of the window by clicking on the desired character.
+.PP
+The font name displayed at the top of the window is the full name of the
+font, as determined by the server. See \fIxlsfonts\fP for ways to generate
+lists of fonts, as well as more detailed summaries of their metrics and
+properties.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.PP
+.I xfd
+accepts all of the standard toolkit command line options along with
+the additional options listed below:
+.TP 8
+.B \-fn \fIfont\fP
+This option specifies the font to be displayed. This can also be set with
+the FontGrid \fBfont\fP resource. A font must be specified.
+.TP 8
+.B \-box
+This option indicates that a box should be displayed outlining the area
+that would be filled with background color by an ImageText request.
+This can also be set with
+the FontGrid \fBboxChars\fP resource. The default is False.
+.TP 8
+.B \-center
+This option indicates that each glyph should be centered in its grid.
+This can also be set with
+the FontGrid \fBcenterChars\fP resource. The default is False.
+.TP 8
+.B \-start \fInumber\fP
+This option specifies the glyph index of the upper left hand corner of the
+grid. This is used to view characters at arbitrary locations in the font.
+This can also be set with
+the FontGrid \fBstartChar\fP resource. The default is 0.
+.TP 8
+.B \-bc \fIcolor\fP
+This option specifies the color to be used if ImageText boxes are drawn.
+This can also be set with
+the FontGrid \fBboxColor\fP resource.
+.TP 8
+.B \-rows \fInumrows\fP
+This option specifies the number of rows in the grid.
+This can also be set with
+the FontGrid \fBcellRows\fP resource.
+.TP 8
+.B \-columns \fInumcols\fP
+This option specifies the number of columns in the grid.
+This can also be set with
+the FontGrid \fBcellColumns\fP resource.
+.SH WIDGETS
+In order to specify resources, it is useful to know the
+widgets which compose \fIxfd\fR. In the notation below, indentation
+indicates hierarchical structure. The widget class name is given first,
+followed by the widget instance name.
+The application class name is Xfd.

+.SH FONTGRID RESOURCES
+The FontGrid widget is an application-specific widget, and a subclass
+of the Simple widget in the Athena widget set. The effects and
+instance names of this widget's resources are given in the
+\fBOPTIONS\fP section. Capitalize the first letter of the resource
+instance name to get the corresponding class name.
+.SH APPLICATION SPECIFIC RESOURCES
+The instance names of the application specific resources
+are given below. Capitalize the first letter of the resource
+instance name to get the corresponding class name.
+These resources are unlikely to be interesting unless you are localizing
+xfd for a different language.
+.TP 8
+.B selectFormat
+Specifies a printf-style format string used to display information
+about the selected character. The default is "character 0x%02x%02x
+(%u,%u) (%#o,%#o)". The arguments that will come after the format string are
+char.byte1, char.byte2, char.byte1, char.byte2, char.byte1, char.byte2.
+char.byte1 is byte 1 of the selected character.
+char.byte2 is byte 2 of the selected character.
+.TP 8
+.B metricsFormat
+Specifies a printf-style format string used to display character
+metrics. The default is "width %d; left %d, right %d; ascent %d,
+descent %d (font %d, %d)". The arguments that will come after the
+format string are the character metrics width, lbearing, rbearing,
+character ascent, character descent, font ascent, and font descent.
+.TP 8
+.B rangeFormat
+Specifies a printf-style format string used to display the range of
+characters currently being displayed. The default is "range:
+0x%02x%02x (%u,%u) thru 0x%02x%02x (%u,%u)". The arguments that will
+come after the format string are the following fields from the
+XFontStruct that is returned from opening the font:
+min_byte1, min_char_or_byte2, min_byte1, min_char_or_byte2,
+max_byte1, max_char_or_byte2, max_byte1, max_char_or_byte2.
+.TP 8
+.B startFormat
+Specifies a printf-style format string used to display information
+about the character at the upper left corner of the font grid. The
+default is "upper left: 0x%04x (%d,%d)". The arguments that will come
+after the format string are the new character, the high byte of the new
+character, and the low byte of the new character.
+.TP 8
+.B nocharFormat
+Specifies a printf-style format string to display when the selected
+character does not exist. The default is "no such character
+0x%02x%02x (%u,%u) (%#o,%#o)". The arguments that will come after the
+format string are the same as for the \fBselectFormat\fP resource.
