 Conventionally, if your terminal type is a variant intended to specify a
 line height, that suffix should go first.  So, for a hypothetical FuBarCo
 model 2317 terminal in 30-line mode with reverse video, best form would be
-\fBfubar-30-rv\fR (rather than, say, `fubar-rv-30').

 Terminal types that are written not as standalone entries, but rather as
