tmac/fallbacks.tmac: Define fallback for U+2717.
* tmac/fallbacks.tmac: Define fallback character for U+2717 "BALLOT X".
This was a blunder; I'll have to revert it.
Oddly, changing this `fchar` to `schar` doesn't solve the problem and is
documented not to:
.schar c contents
Define global fallback character c as contents. As
char, but a character defined with schar is located
after the list of fonts declared with the .special
request and before any mounted special fonts.
*"before any mounted special fonts"*
But what if we want an even-farther-fallback for when even mounted special
fonts come up dry? I have some homework to understand why this was thought
unnecessary. Or how to do it.
Anyway, reverting that commit and rebuilding "groff-man-pages.pdf" makes
Deri's new tables in _gropdf_(1) and _groff_tmac_(5) nice and pretty. The
"BALLOT X" glyph gets snarfed from the ZD font given only the special
character input `\[u2717]`.
So I'm pretty much set to go, I think, but will wait for Deri's feedback.
