@itemize @bullet
@cindex comments, in fontmap files
-@item Comments start with @samp{%} and continue to the end of the line.
+@item Comments start with the last @samp{%} on a line and continue to
+the end of the line. (This provides for names that include a %,
+ill-advised as that may be.)
+
@cindex whitespace, in fontmap files
@item Blank lines are ignored.

@item Each nonblank line is broken up into a series of @dfn{words}:
a sequence of non-whitespace characters.
+
@findex include @r{fontmap directive}
@item If the first word is @samp{include}, the second word is used as
a filename, and it is searched for and read.
+
@item Otherwise, the first word on each line is the true filename;
+
@item the second word is the alias;

@item subsequent words are ignored.
