I have a software package that uses the X11 fonts to convert text to
TIFF files as part of the faxing out.  I do not have "remote" access
to the X Windows system (just telnet) so I can not run 'xlsfonts' so
as to list the file names.  How can I do this directly with the text
console screen?

Look at the xlsfonts man page:

xlsfonts -display host:dpy
                  ^^^^^^^^

Fortunate1ZE972270361366933ly the output is on stdout so you can look at any systems
fonts.

xlsfonts doesn't list filenames, just fonts.

Hmm, I don't exactly understand, what smlunatic means, since - as you
stated - xlsfonts doesn't list filenames.

I'd look for the xfs config file, and see what directories it reads.
Mine is /etc/X11/fs/config .

The 'catalogue' option specifies the directories where the fonts are.

I'd then traverse the directories' fonts.dir files, and look for the
font in question.
