FONTSEL(1)FONTSEL(1)

NAME

fontsel – a font selector program

SYNOPSIS

fontsel [ FILE ]

DESCRIPTION

fontsel scans /lib/font/bit and /lib/font/ttf for fonts and displays a text, either the default one, or the one specified by the user with an optional argument.

Font directory can be selected using middle mouse button. Specific font in that directory can be selected either - and + keys (bitmap fonts and TTF), or with the right mouse button (only for bitmap fonts).

Pressing q or del will exit the program and output the path to the last selected font, so that it’s possible to select a font for a specific program in mind:

	font=`{fontsel} sam ...
