-The format is very simple. Each line contains 2 items: an alias and
-the name/path of the font separated by white space. The alias is simply
-the name you refer to the font as in your :ref:`mapfile` (eg. times-bold).
-The name is the actual name of the TrueType file. If not full path then
-it is interpreted as relative to the location of the fontset. Here's the
-fontset I use (the font.list file and all .ttf files are stored in the
-same sub-directory).
+`FONTSET` is a :ref:`MAP` parameter. The syntax is:
+::
+ FONTSET [filename]
+
+Where `filename` gives the location of the fontset file of the system.
+The location of the system fontset file could for instance be
+/usr/share/fonts/truetype/font.list (Debian). The location can be
+specified using a relative or absolute path.
