[bug #68261] [man] offer advice on (not) using Courier/monospace/typewritten font in man pages

I don't think this works (to suppress the warning).

[derij@pip build (master)]$ printf ".ftr C HR\n\\\fCHello\\\fP\n"|groff -Z
troff:<standard input>:2: warning: font name 'C' is deprecated [-w font]
x T ps
x res 72000 1 1
x init
p1
x font 25 HR
f25
s10000
md
DFd
V12000
H72000
tHello
n12000 0
x trailer
V792000
x stop

It works for nroff though.
