troff:groff_mdoc.7:220: warning: asked for a font family instead of the font itself

That appears to be a Bjarnigroff diagnostic, not a GNU groff one. I will take no action regarding it.

The remainder can, I think, be remedied analogously to this bit of business we had to do in man(7).

In mdoc we probably don't want to tuck the font remappings (and un-remappings) inside macro definitions, but apply them globally due to mdoc's pervasive per-macro font customization feature.

While we're at it, might as well cope with the similar "lbp" problem.
