    pfbtops(1): Clarify and tighten.
    
    * PFB and PFA are _Type 1_ PostScript font file formats, specifically.
    * Nudge the reader in the direction of afmtodit(1) for further
      operations on PostScript Type 1 files for usage with groff.
    * Drop information about embedding and the download file; this is
      already discussed in grops(1) and gropdf(1), and there's more to using
      Type 1 fonts with groff than coverting them to PFA and putting them
      into a "download" file, which those pages discuss.
