NAME
fc-match - match available fonts
SYNOPSIS
fc-match [ -asvVh ] [ --all ] [ --sort ] [ --verbose ] [ [ -f for-
mat ] [ --format format ] ] [ --version ] [ --help ]
[ pattern [ element... ] ]
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.
OPTIONS

options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is

pruning on the list.
-s Displays sorted list of best matching fonts.
-v Print verbose output of the whole font pattern for each match,
or elements if any is provided.
