Follow-up Comment #2:

Yeah, I think we established in bug #68256 that `bd` is pretty creaky, and you
found flaws in several of my reform proposals.  :-O

For _groff_ 1.25, which needs to go to release candidate soon (which means I
need to dial way down the fiddling with the formatter and give the
preprocessors and macro packages some love), I think I'll try to just fix this
issue with `bd`.  Maybe I can get a reconstructed `bd` request into good shape
for Clem Cole in December for _groff_ 1.26.

Anyway, can reproduce:


$ printf '.bd TR 500\t\\" Comment\n' | ~/groff-1.24.1/bin/groff 
troff:<standard input>:1: warning: ignoring third argument to font emboldening
request when first interpreted as mounting position and second as emboldening
amount


The issue is quasi-fixed already in Git HEAD:


$ printf '.bd TR 500\t\\" Comment\n' | ~/groff-HEAD/bin/groff 2>&1 | grep . ||
echo NO OUTPUT
NO OUTPUT


However:


$ printf '.bd TR 500\t\\" Comment\n' | ~/groff-HEAD/bin/groff -ww 2>&1 | grep
. || echo NO OUTPUT
troff:<standard input>:1: warning: interpreting second argument to font
emboldening request as emboldening amount; use a font name instead of a
mounting position as the first argument if conditional emboldening desired [-w
style]


Yeah, that needs to not be a "style" warning.  I think that change might have
been my quarter-baked fix for bug #68256.
