The fontconfig manual describes the syntax for fontconfig names. http://fontconfig.org/fontconfig-user.html > xfd -fn "Fixed 10" gives me: Ah, you need to tell xfd that you're using a fontconfig name rather than a core font name. Try: $ xfd -fa 'fixed-10' If you want to see the 6x13 font ('fixed' in the default core font list): $ xfd -fa fixed:pixelsize=13:width=semicondensed -keith
