f-match - match available fonts
SYNOPSIS
f-match [ -asvVh ] [ -all ] [ -sort ] [ -verbose ] [ [-f format ] [-format format ] ] [ -version ] [ -help ]

DESCRIPTION
f-match matches

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.
