    gropdf(1), grops(1): Update and sync § Typefaces.
    
    * Tighten and align discussions of typefaces.
    * Recast discussion of differences in special font handling.
    * Annotate a fact that the deri-gropdf-ng branch will make stale.
    * Favor `P` over `LP`.
    * Recast sentence fragments to eliminate dangling colons (and the ':-'
      bigram).
    * Update poor man's keeps.
