For example, if
CHARSET_REGISTRY is iso9959 and
CHARSET_ENCODING is 15, then the
font is encoded with ISO 8859-15
(also called Latin-9??”used for Western
European languages, including
the Euro symbol).

To select a font, create a name that has the desired values in each field; use an asterisk
for any field you don??™t care about. Some examples are shown in Table 10-2.
The easiest way to come up with a font name is to do it interactively using the
xfontsel command:
$ xfontsel
This will display a font selection window as shown in Figure 10-3. Each of the 14
XLFD fields is represented by a pull-down menu containing possible values. As you
select values, incompatible options in other fields are disabled. For example, if you
select bitstream for the foundry, any font families supplied by other foundries??”such
as Adobe??™s Helvetica and B&H??™s Luxi??”are disabled (grayed out) in the font family
menu.
