Fonts in rumai (wmii)

How do you know what fonts you can use in rumai or wmii?
xlsfonts will list all the fonts in the format that wmii expects:

xlsfonts > available_fonts.txt

You can use the '*' symbol to generalize. Here are some that work ok. Some are quite ugly, others OK:

-*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
-*-fixed-bold-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
-*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
lucidasans-bold-12
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-12
-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-12
-adobe-palatino-bold-r-*-*-14
-*-lucida-bold-r-*-*-12
-*-dejavu sans mono-medium-r-*-*-14
-*-dejavu sans mono-medium-r-*-*-14
