DESCRIPTION¶
fc-match matches
pattern (empty pattern by default) using the
normal fontconfig matching rules to find the best font available. If
--sort is given, the sorted list of best matching fonts is displayed.
The
--all option works like
--sort except that no pruning is
done on the list of fonts.
If any elements are specified, only those are printed. Otherwise short file
name, family, and style are printed, unless verbose output is requested.
