Description

Helps choose traditional X11 font names by clicking through foundry, family, weight, size, encoding, and other XLFD fields. It is useful when configuring old X applications that require exact X font names.

Modern applications usually use fontconfig names instead, so this tool is mainly for legacy X resources, troubleshooting, and compatibility work. It does not install or design fonts.
