        !             3: xfd - X window system font displayer
        !             4: .SH SYNOPSIS
        !             5: .B xfd
        !             6: [ =\fIgeometry\fP ] [ \fIhost\fP:\fInumber\fP ] [ options ] fontname
        !             7: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !             8: .I Xfd
        !             9: creates a window which displays all characters in the named font.  The
        !            10: characters are displayed in increasing ASCII order, 8 to a line, from
        !            11: the first to the last character defined in the font.
        !            12: .PP
        !            13: The font name is interpreted by the X server.  On a VAX, if the name
        !            14: does not begin with ``/'', the X server adds the suffix ``.onx'' to it and
        !            15: looks up the font file in the directory \fI/usr/new/lib/X/font/\fP.  If
        !            16: the name does begin with ``/'', the X server treats it as an absolute
        !            17: pathname of a file containing a font.
        !            18: .PP
        !            19: If no font name is given on the command line, 
        !            20: .I xfd
        !            21: displays the font ``vtsingle''.
        !            22: .PP
        !            23: The window stays around until the xfd process is killed  or a mouse button is pressed on the window.

        !            37: argument specifies the display number.

        !            40: orpheus.
