X11 supports scalable typefaces in addition to bitmapped fonts. The use of the XLFD (X Logical Font Description) for specifying either kind is covered in "Using Fonts" in the Using the X Window System manual.

Hewlett-Packard has extended the XLFD conventions to provide for additional font capabilities. This chapter discusses how the XLFD name can be used to modify boldness, slant, and width, for either bitmapped fonts or scalable typefaces using the HP extensions.
