>	In this window, you can set the font selector to show only the
	fonts which satisfy some criteria.  You can specify values for
	font foundry (vendor), weight, character set, slant, set
	width, and spacing (see <A
HREF="xlfd.html"
>the section called <I
>Font attributes in X Window System and XLFD</I
></A
> for description
	of these and other font parameters). You can choose
	<SPAN
CLASS="KEYSYM"
>*</SPAN
>, which means "any value"; you can also
	specify several values for the same field: just click on
	several of the them with the left mouse button (you do not
	need to hold <B
CLASS="KEYCAP"
>SHIFT</B
> or <B
CLASS="KEYCAP"
>CTRL</B
>).

> You can also specify allowed font types, using
	checkbuttons at the top of this window. Possible types are
	bitmap fonts, scalable fonts, and scaled bitmaps. The most
	common fonts are bitmap fonts; scalable fonts (TrueType and
	Type 1 PostScript) usually produce equally good quality, but
	not all implementations of X Window System are able to use
	them. 
      </P
><P
> 
	As the name shows, scalable fonts can be scaled to any size without
	loss of quality. While it is possible to scale bitmap fonts as well,
	the quality of scaled bitmap fonts is disastrous. For this reason, by
	default font selector does not show scaled bitmap fonts.
