So there's no warning, but also no actual constant-width output. Am I
holding it wrong somehow, or is this broken?
Further confusion with groff 1.23.0. ".nf" then ".ft C" results in
<pre>. ".ft C" on its own does not result in <tt> even though you might
think it would based on the behaviour in combination with ".nf". ".ft
CR" has no effect with or without ".nf".
I can see why the author of this page decided to use ".ft C" for the
HTML device even though it doesn't seem to actually make any sense,
since it _works_ in 1.23.0 - but doesn't any more. What's going on?
