Bug#224353: /usr/X11R6/bin/xclock: xclock man page and options deficiencies
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.3.0-0pre1v4
Severity: normal
File: /usr/X11R6/bin/xclock
xclock --help shows there is a -face argument
The man page does not include -face, so I have little idea how to use
it (similarly, the options -sharp/-render are not in the man page)
Supplyng -face "Times New Roman" etc seems to work. There
unfortunately seems not to be an asscoiated font size argument, as in
the -fa and -fs args to xterm, so the text is way too big on my
machine.
man page also includes the font resource, but an entry of
XClock.clock.font: -*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*
seems to do nothing. Nor does the -fn option explained in the --help:
xclock -fn '-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*'
