I'm working through some Debian packages whose tests fail with groff

attempt to improve the handling of constant-width font selection in https://github.com/edsantiago/xlbiff/commit/e0987fbbcd2304b389f70bbedb9ab9201c8bd7f1.
My current plan is to add the following preamble to the affected pages:
.ie n .ds CR R
.el .ds CR CR
... and then just use `.ft \*(CR` in each of the places where it
currently has a conditional.
On reflection, in this particular case I think these pages could just
use .EX/.EE instead of messing around with fonts manually. However, the
HTML output problem remains.
