<!-- Process this file with docbook-to-man to generate an nroff manual
     page: `docbook-to-man manpage.sgml > manpage.1'.  You may view
     the manual page with: `docbook-to-man manpage.sgml | nroff -man |
     less'.  A typical entry in a Makefile or Makefile.am is:

manpage.1: manpage.sgml
        docbook-to-man $< > $@


        The docbook-to-man binary is found in the docbook-to-man package.
        Please remember that if you create the nroff version in one of the
        debian/rules file targets (such as build), you will need to include
        docbook-to-man in your Build-Depends control field.

    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>

    <para><command>&dhpackage;</command> matches
    <replaceable>pattern</replaceable> (empty
pattern by default) using the normal fontconfig matching rules to find
the best font available.  If <option>--sort</option> is given, the sorted list of best
matching fonts is displayed.
The <option>--all</option> option works like
<option>--sort</option> except that no pruning is done on the list of fonts.</para>
<para>If any elements are specified, only those are printed.
Otherwise short file name, family, and style are printed, unless verbose
output is requested.</para>
