I think you misunderstand my "What's going on?" complaint.

If I could make out _how_ the combination of ".nf" and ".ft C" is having 
this effect on grohtml output, I might be able to get somewhere.  But I 
have entirely failed to trace the actual code, especially given that 
post-grohtml is explicitly special-casing the "CR" font to have what 
looks like a similar effect - but in a way that I haven't been able to 
get to work.

I'm explicitly not looking for an explanation of the typography at this 
time.  I'm just trying to figure out the code flow.
