Deciding on a font, and determining the proper notation

I have an X11 program that allows you to set a font. It apparently accepts the 'standard'X Logical Font Description. This notation is fairly obscure, and while the document I linked to mentions it, it doesn't actually describe the syntax. Is there some kind of font picking tool that will provide a list of valid fonts, and allow me to pick a font from the list, and specify the sizes and such, then print out this notation?

X Logical Font Description

X11 core font instances are usually specified using a notation known as the X Logical Font Description (XLFD). An XLFD starts with a dash `-', and consists of fourteen fields separated by dashes, for example:

-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1
