+.B avg_showfont
+[\fIfontname\fR] [\fItext\fR]

+List available font faces and generate preview of their variants.

+If \fBfontname\fR is specified, the chosen font is displayed in a window, with one line for
+each available variant.

+If supplied, the optional \fBtext\fR argument is used instead of the variant name in the
+sample text.
