Using the wrong font in a man page is not a "documentation" issue we define it on Savannah[1], but "incorrect behavior"[2].

We generally expect man pages to "perform" without prompting diagnostics from macro packages, the formatter, or output devices.

[1] "A groff component is incorrectly or inadequately documented."
[2] "A groff component doesn't perform within norms or as specified."

    www.tmac: Rename font 'C' to 'CR'; define 'CR'.

    The font name 'C' ('CW') is not a part of groff's fonts.

    Fixes Savannah #51417 and half of #51426.

  This is a change from 'C' to 'CW' as that name is used througout in the file.
