DESCRIPTION

       Showfont  displays  data  about	a  font that matches the given pattern.  The information shown includes font information, font properties,
       character metrics, and character bitmaps.

       The wildcard character "*" can be used to match any sequence of characters (including none) in the font name, and "?" can be used to  match
       any single character.  The "*" and "?" characters must be quoted to prevent them from being expanded by the shell.  If no pattern is given,
       "*" is assumed.
