<!-- Process this file with DocBook tools to generate the output format
(such as manual pages or HTML documents).
Note that strings like __appmansuffix__, __filemansuffix__, __libmansuffix__,
__miscmansuffix__ etc. have to be replaced first (in theory that's the
job of ENTITIES but some XML tools are highly allergic to such stuff... ;-().
A quick way to do that is to filter this document via
/usr/bin/sed "s/__appmansuffix__/${MANSUFFIX}/g;s/__filemansuffix__/${FILEMANSUFFIX}/g;s/__libmansuffix__/${LIBMANSUFFIX}/g;s/__miscmansuffix__/${MISCMANSUFFIX}/g"
assuming that env vars like MANSUFFIX etc. have been set to the matching
manual volume numbers.

(including none), and "?" to match any single character.
If no pattern is given, "*" is assumed.

Doing ``xlsfonts -l'' can tie up your server for a very long time.
This is really a bug with single-threaded
non-preemptable servers, not with this program.
