There are two types of font systems in Linux/X11. So the answer depends on what application you need it for. One is the old style X11 (core) fonts - rarely used nowdays. You get a list of those fonts with xlsfonts. You'll get an ugly string like: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--0-0-75-75-c-0-iso8859-1 which is the font identifier. XFT/Fontconfig - you get a list of fonts with fc-list. In config files you ussually specify the font either with "DejaVu Sans 10" or in some apps "xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:pixelsize=14" depends on the application -- damjan
