Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Upgraded the system from Bullseye to Bookworm.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Looked for the U-PR font under
/usr/share/groff/1.22.4/font/devpdf and it is no longer there.
* What was the outcome of this action?
I get the following error processing my document:
troff: <standard input>:33: warning: can't find font 'U-PR'
In my document line 33 is:
.fam U-P
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Not to be surprised by the removal of these fonts that are in
1.22.4-6 in Bullseye and in 1.23.0-2 in Trixie.
I see no mention of intentionally removing these fonts (perhaps
more?) in the Debian ChangeLog file.
I hope these fonts can be restored to Stable without resorting to
manually installing them from an older or newer package.

Sorry for the slow reply, Nate. My head's been upstream.

Colin, should an -11 be spun for oldstable updates to un-regress this? I'd say something here about needing automated tests, but groff 1.22.4 had only a few, and none were predicated on the availability of the "U" (URW) foundry. groff 1.23.0 has many more tests--100+. groff Git master is up to 232.
