NAME Xorg::XLFD - X logical font description interface SYNOPSIS use Xorg::XLFD qw(get_all_xfld); my $desc = get_all_xlfd(); DESCRIPTION X logical fond description is a font standard used by the X Window System. This module provides an interface for accessing these descriptions. EXPORTS None by default. FUNCTIONS get_all_xfld() get_all_xfld() takes no arguments and returns a hash reference that contains all available fonts on the system, grouped by family. STRUCTURE An example structure for the standard 'Fixed' font: fixed => { charset => [ "jisx0208.1983", "iso10646", "iso8859", "koi8", "jisx0201.1976", 0, 120, 180 ], foundary => [ "jis", "misc", "sony" ], horiz_dpi => [ 75, 100, 0, 120 ], pixels => [ 0, 16, 24, 13, 14, 15, 18, 10, 20, 6, 7, 8, 9, "ja", "ko", 12 ], "set width" => [ "normal", "semicondensed" ], slant => [ "r", "o" ], spacing => [ "c", 100, 75 ], tenths => [ 0, 110, 150, 170, 230, 100, 120, 130, 140, 70, 200, 60, 50, 80, 90, 13, 18 ], vert_dpi => [ 75, 100 ], weight => [ "medium", "bold" ], width => [ 0, 160, 240, 70, 80, 90, 60, 140, 100, 40, 50, "c", 120 ] }, XLFD SPECIFICATION The XLFD is made up from 12/14 font properties as visualized below. <SEE POD> CAVEATS We are relying on an external application for fetching the available font descriptions. This is not good. We will look at the xlsfonts source code and try to come up with a smarter way.
