   6 Note that strings like __appmansuffix__, __filemansuffix__, __libmansuffix__,
   7 __miscmansuffix__ etc. have to be replaced first (in theory that's the
   8 job of ENTITIES but some XML tools are highly allergic to such stuff... ;-().
   9 A quick way to do that is to filter this document via
  10 /usr/bin/sed "s/__appmansuffix__/${MANSUFFIX}/g;s/__filemansuffix__/${FILEMANSUFFIX}/g;s/__libmansuffix__/${LIBMANSUFFIX}/g;s/__miscmansuffix__/${MISCMANSUFFIX}/g"
  11 assuming that env vars like MANSUFFIX etc. have been set to the matching
  12 manual volume numbers.

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