I tried google extensively for searches with alias, with font config, with old font names etc and didn't see a way to get them. I didn't even find good info on xlsfonts and if it is carried with xserver or as a separate program. I will give xfontsel a shot. I just need to know the exact name that the xserver expects when being given a text string to display.
