     NAME
          fontview - Display PostScript font viewer

     SYNTAX
          fontview [ toolkit options ] [ -debug ]


     DESCRIPTION
          fontview allows the user to view text examples of the
          available fonts on a given X server. If the X server
          specified does not support the Display PostScript extension,
          a message is printed and the program exits.

          As fontview starts up, it displays a font selection panel,
          an area to display font samples, and a panel to select text
          demos.  Select a font by choosing a font family, a face, and
          a size in the font selection panel and then clicking the
          Apply button.

          Six demos have been provided with fontview. The demos are
          Character Set, Quotation, Text Wheel, Outline Text, Slanted
          Text, and Fountain.  Character Set and Quotation output
          predefined text, while the other demos prompt the user for
          input.  The presence of these demos is not guaranteed, and
          they may change without notice.


     DIAGNOSTICS
          Specifying the -debug option opens up a text context on
          stdout. All PostScript language code sent to the Display
          PostScript extension will be displayed on the screen.


     BUGS
          Slanted Text and Outline Text should be modifiers rather
          than demos.
