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.

       -LSB    The byte order of the font should be requested as LSBFirst (least significant byte first).

       -pad n  The scanpad unit of the font (8, 16, 32, or 64).

       -b[itmap_pad] n
	       The bitmap padding unit of the font (0, 1, or 2, where 0 is ImageRectMin, 1 is ImageRectMaxWidth and 2 is ImageRectMax).
