| xlsfonts does this. if you have access to an ULTRIX machine, configure your VMS
workstation's security to allow access from the ULTRIX machine, and type
xlsfonts -display VMS::0.0
to see what fonts are available on the VMS workstation.
if you don't have access to an ULTRIX machine, look in the DECwindows examples
Notes conference (ELKTRA::DW_EXAMPLES) to see if anyone has ported xlsfonts
to run on VMS.

| 3352.2 | Thanks | TLSE01::SCHLUMBERGER | Marc SCHLUMBERGER, WS-VMS-Ultrix Conslt | Tue Sep 18 1990 09:02 | 14 |
| Thanks for your answer. It gives us the exact list of the avaible
fonts.
Now I will be happy if I could chose a font name watching on the
screen the result to choose the best font to answer my initial request
which is
" Which font do I have to chose to see more than 100 characters
in a listbox ?"
I will have a look in the examples notesfile.
Thanks.

| 3352.3 | see note 74.1 in clt::gobe-widget | GOBBLR::MULHEREN | Kelly Mulheren, GObE & NetEd | Tue Sep 18 1990 09:50 | 12 |
| This contains a program I hacked together for selecting fonts. It ain't pretty
but it's functional. Several products have found it quite useful.
You can grab a VMS executable (linked against DECwindows V2) from:
dfs: zko.s.clt.kits_1:[widget.misc]gobe-list-fonts.exe
fal: clt::widget$misc:gobe-list-fonts.exe
The source code is there also; look at the program header for instructions
on running it.

| Note 3190 tells you where to get the clients: from DECUS.
I'm fairly certain that somewhere else there is a note that tells you where to
find it on line, but I'll repeat it.
You can find two utilities related to fonts, xlsfonts and xfd from
CVG::SYS$GAMES:[ATHENA_X11.X.CLIENTS.XLSFONTS]XLSFONTS.EXE and
CVG::SYS$GAMES:[ATHENA_X11.X.CLIENTS.XFD]XFD.EXE
You will find most of the other Athena clients in
CVG::SYS$GAMES:[ATHENA_X11.X.CLIENTS.*]
This is a much earlier version of what's on the DECUS CDROM.

A really cheap way of checking out the fonts is to use NOTEPAD. It
allows you to select from a variety of fonts....
