commit 3e84391a0b5c3b6cfd579c971036569b4766275e
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Tue Oct 18 11:13:28 2022 -0500

    afmtodit(1): Fix content nits.
    
    * Be more specific: groff ordinary or special character names can be
      used as target mappings.  Clarify how classification is determined.
    * Use `groff-char` instead of `groff-glyph` as metasyntactic variable;
      see commit 9736359727, 11 October, for rationale.
    * Add cross reference to groff_char(7).
    * Adjust advice regarding unencoded glyph indices.
