Follow-up Comment #7, bug #67252 (group groff): [comment #3 comment #3:] > 1. merging the "tty-char.tmac" file's fallbacks into "fallback.tmac";
I don’t see a huge advantage to this. The tty-char.tmac fallbacks are
suitable only for terminal devices, so they’d still have to be inside a
conditional within fallbacks.tmac. Keeping them in separate files, one of
which is loaded only by grotty, feels cleaner to me. Am I overlooking
something?

Ingo objected to my similar idea in bug #62814. But he has also not responded
to subsequent discussion in that ticket pointing out (in the abstract) the
issue raised by this ticket.
> 3. getting GNU _nroff_ out of the business of loading macro files.
This is one of the goals of my patch in aforementioned bug #62814. But as
written, that patch will do nothing to address this ticket’s issue.
