SYNOPSIS

fantasdic [options] [dictionary] [word]

DESCRIPTION

Fantasdic is a dictionary application primarily targetting the GNOME desktop but which should work with other platforms, including Windows. Fantasdic is Free Software.

More precisely, Fantasdic is a DICT client. DICT is to dictionaries what HTTP is to web sites: Fantasdic connects to a server to look up words in dictionaries provided by that server. So you might think of Fantasdic as a "dictionary browser".

See fantasdic --help for command-line options.
