Dear clippertm,

I have a few to questions pose in response first:-
  • Is this homework/assignment? There are specific forums for these.
  • What have you tried so far?
  • What output/errors do you get?
  • What OS and version are you using?
  • What are your preferred tools? (C, shell, perl, awk, etc. & strings, of course!)
  • What logical process have you considered? (to help steer us to follow what you are trying to achieve)
Most importantly, What have you tried so far?

There are probably many ways to achieve most tasks, so giving us an idea of your style and thoughts will help us guide you to an answer most suitable to you so you can adjust it to suit your needs in future.


We're all here to learn and getting the relevant information will help us all.


Kind regards,
Robin

       below.

       -v     Print verbose output of the whole font pattern for each match, or elements if any is provided.

       -f     Format output according to the format specifier format.

       -V     Show version of the program and exit.

       -h     Show summary of options.

       pattern
	      If this argument is set, only fonts matching pattern are displayed.

       element
	      If set, the element property is displayed for matching fonts.

EXAMPLES

       fc-list
	      Lists all font faces.

       fc-list :lang=hi
	      Lists font faces that cover Hindi.

       fc-list : family style file spacing
