                     14: DESCRIPTION
                     15:      _X_f_d creates a window which displays all characters in the
                     16:      named font.  The characters are displayed in increasing
                     17:      ASCII order, 8 to a line, from the first to the last charac-
                     18:      ter defined in the font.
                     19: 
                     20:      The font name is interpreted by the X server.  On a VAX, if
                     21:      the name does not begin with ``/'', the X server adds the
                     22:      suffix ``.onx'' to it and looks up the font file in the
                     23:      directory /_u_s_r/_n_e_w/_l_i_b/_X/_f_o_n_t/.  If the name does begin with
                     24:      ``/'', the X server treats it as an absolute pathname of a
                     25:      file containing a font.
                     26: 
                     27:      If no font name is given on the command line, _x_f_d displays
                     28:      the font ``vtsingle''.
                     29: 
                     30:      The window stays around until the xfd process is killed  or
                     31:      a mouse button is pressed on the window.
                     32: 
                     33: OPTIONS
                     34:      _h_o_s_t:_d_i_s_p_l_a_y
                     35:             Normally, _x_f_d gets the host and display number to
                     36:             use from the environment variable ``DISPLAY''.  One
                     37:             can, however specify them explicitly.  The _h_o_s_t
                     38:             specifies which machine to create the window on, and
                     39:             the _d_i_s_p_l_a_y argument specifies the display number.
                     40:             For example, ``orpheus:1'' creates a shell window on
                     41:             display one on the machine orpheus.
                     42: 
                     43:      -bw _b_o_r_d_e_r_w_i_d_t_h
                     44:             Allows you to specify the width of the window border
                     45:             in pixels.
                     46: 
                     47:      -rv     The screen will be displayed with black characters
                     48:             on a white background, rather than the default white
                     49:             on black.
