commit 3e84391a0b5c3b6cfd579c971036569b4766275e
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

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.
