I did it.  It needs a ChangeLog bug-closer.

    [docs]: Revise discussion of fonts.
    
    * doc/groff.texi:
      -  Rename node/section "Fonts and Symbols" to "Using Fonts".  Add
         giant new introduction, properly establishing terminology.
      -  Rename node/section "Changing Fonts" to "Selecting Fonts".  Shift
         location of `.fn` and `.sty` register documentation.  Rewrite
         presentation of `ft` and `\f`.  Discuss typeface selection by
         mounting position and font (or style) name together; since
         arguments to these formatter instructions are always interpreted as
         mounting positions first, it doesn't make much sense to me to
         present them separately, and the new introduction provides the
         necessary background.  Tighten example.  Document that current and
         previous font selections are environment properties.
      -  Add several concept index entries.
      -  Do more migration from "symbol" and "glyph" names to "special
         character" names.
    
    * man/groff.7 (Using fonts): Introduce new section, synced with the
      renamed node from our Texinfo manual above.
