                      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.
