commit 75853baecfb208ec0979b03e2031ca4846396bd9
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

    [troff]: Fix Savannah #64166.

    * src/roff/troff/node.cpp (bold_font): Add `WARN_MISSING` diagnostic if
      request given no arguments; it does nothing, and the behavior of this
      request is sufficiently complex that it's worth saying so.  Stop
      throwing font lookup error if second argument cannot be resolved as a
      font name; it might be an emboldening amount instead.

    Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?64166>.

To be explicit, this was a regression from groff 1.22.4.

Pushed to my private branch.

While exploring bug #64141, I discovered to my unhappiness that my font diagnostic revision work broke the `bd` request after all.

And along the way, I discovered what appears to be (yet another) erratum in CSTR #54, and an inaccuracy in our Texinfo manual arising from what must have been interpretive extrapolation from the AT&T documentation rather than experimental observation of formatter behavior.
