    [docs]: Fix miscellaneous nits.
    
    * ChangeLog: Fix whitespace goof.
    * NEWS: Throw users a bigger bone so they can cope better with attempts
      to select unavailable fonts, a popular pastime among man page authors
      (and automatic generators).  Also clarify item that mentions "nroff
      mode".
    * src/utils/xtotroff/xtotroff.1.man: Use correct indefinite article with
      subsequent word beginning with vowel sound.
