Subject: OT Read font notations like: -bitstream-terminal-bold-[...]-100-c-110-iso8859-1

Message-ID: <87zgnmgx18.fsf@local.lan> (raw)
Sorry for leaving the newsgroup topic in the dust but I know there are
very likely people here who can help.
I once new a little about what the font notations like below meant:
-bitstream-terminal-bold-r-normal--18-140-100-100-c-110-iso8859-1
But have lost some of it out of my pea brain. I know the `-c-'
bit means its good for my use .. and that `iso8859-1' puts it in
my neck of the woods but more of the exact meaning has left town.
I hoped someone here can steer me to URL or such that explains it in
detail.
My googling hasn't gotten the close details even though I found this:
https://twiserandom.com/unix/x11-fonts-a-tutorial/index.html#X11_core_font_system
Tells quite a lot but still haven't learnt the details I want.
The meaning of -c-, -m-, -p- and more.
Something that explains each notation in detail is what I'm after.
