description
fc-match
matches pattern (empty 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. The --all option
works like --sort except that no pruning is done on
the list of fonts.
If any elements
are specified, only those are printed. Otherwise short file
name, family, and style are printed, unless verbose output
is requested.
options

follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options
starting with two dashes (’-’). A summary of
options is included below.
-a

do any pruning on the list.
-s

-v

match, or elements if any is provided.
-f

format.
-V
