Follow-up Comment #5:

Okay, I may have a fix for this, but I couldn't pull on this thread without
tugging on bug #68256 as well.

Here's the new behavior.  The "debug" output will go away.


$ printf '.bd TR 500\t\\" Comment\n' | ./build/test-groff -ww 2>&1 | grep . ||
echo NO OUTPUT
troff:<standard input>:1: debug: GBR: emboldening is conditional because first
argument starts with non-numeral, character 'T'
troff:<standard input>:1: warning: no font mounted at position 500 [-w font]
troff:<standard input>:1: error: cannot select font for conditional
emboldening


What do you think?  I'll next go to bug #68256 and run this new code through
your most recent scenarios, and see how it fares.
