If it doesn't have "xlsfonts", it's unworthy of being called an X
client; he preobably has it.

Note that you'd have to quote the second argument if you're using the C
shell or a compatible shell, or you'll get a "No match" error (the
Bourne shell and compatibles, by default, just pass the string on if it
doesn't match any file names).
That string won't match the Lucida Typewriter fonts, though; you'd have
to do the
> xlsfonts -fn -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
to get them - but, if you're doing that, you might as well do just
"xlsfonts".
The "fixed" to which I referred earlier is, I think, an alias for *one*
of the "-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1" fonts, but I
don't know which one; the equivalent bold font's name can be found by
replacing "medium" with "bold" - one should, if one gives a "-m" flag
wiht a particular font, also give a "-b" flag with the matching bold
font.
I am sorely tempted to make the fonts Ethereal uses preferences in the
preference file - and *NOT* make them be raw naked XLFD names (it's
truly appalling the extent to which X obliges end-users to deal with
those N-component monstrosities); instead, I'd be tempted to
1) use the GTK+ font selection dialog;
2) give a subset of the name in the preferences file, sufficient
to derive the names of the normal *and* bold-face versions
(and try to make it capable of handling whatever Owen
Taylor's doing with fonts in Pango).
(But I seem to remember somebody, perhaps Graham Bloice, a while ago
suggesting that we use inverse video rathe than boldface; I also seem to
remember a patch being supplied, and perhaps even checked in, but we're
still using boldface, so perhaps I'm misremembering.)
