fc-match(1)


NAME

   fc-match - match available fonts

SYNOPSIS

   fc-match  [  -asvVh  ]   [  --all ]  [ --sort ]  [ --verbose ]  [  [ -f
   format ]  [ --format format ]  ]  [ --version ]  [ --help ]

    [ pattern  [ element... ]   ]

DESCRIPTION

   fc-match matches pattern (empty pattern by default)  using  the  normal
   fontconfig matching rules to find the best font available. If --sort is
   given, the sorted list of best matching fonts is displayed.  The  --all
   option  works like --sort except that no pruning is done on the list of
   fonts.

   If any elements are specified, only those are printed.  Otherwise short
   file  name,  family,  and  style  are printed, unless verbose output is
   requested.

OPTIONS

   This program follows the usual  GNU  command  line  syntax,  with  long
   options  starting  with  two  dashes  (`-').  A  summary  of options is
   included below.

   -a     Displays sorted list of best matching fonts, but do not  do  any
          pruning on the list.

   -s     Displays sorted list of best matching fonts.

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

   -V     Show version of the program and exit.
