<!-- 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.

    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>

    <para>
      <command>xlsfonts</command> lists the fonts that match the given pattern.
      The wildcard character "*" may be used to match any sequence of characters
      (including none), and "?" to match any single character.
      If no pattern is given, "*" is assumed.
    </para>
    <para>
      The "*" and "?" characters must be quoted to prevent them from being expanded by the shell.

        </term>
        <listitem>
          <para>
            This option indicates that xlsfonts should do an OpenFont
            (and QueryFont, if appropriate) rather than a ListFonts.
            This is useful if ListFonts or ListFontsWithInfo fail to
            list a known font (as is the case with some scaled font
            systems).

      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.
