In comment #10 to bug #64772, Dave said:

> These files being buried in contrib/hdtbl/examples means users looking for
> examples of the font glyphs likely won't find them.  (I was unaware of their
> existence until your comment.)  I see that bug #64967 seeks to remedy this.


> Nonetheless, aside from these files' utility as hdtbl examples, if hdtbl is
> withdrawn I'm not convinced replacements for these files need to ship with
> groff: for users who want to see all the glyphs in a font, generating such a
> list or table is a fairly beginner-level groff exercise.


I concur.  Rejecting this ticket.
