Follow-up Comment #1, bug #66344 (group groff): It would make more sense to add this to groff. So that .ft TR resulted in 'x font 5 U-TR' if -yU was passed to groff. This would mean no changes to grops, adding the U- to internalname (by afmtodit), and gropdf dropping the -y flag. This would mean the download files for grops and gropdf would be same, no foundry field, the difference would be gropdf would have a download entry for Times-Roman and U-Times-Roman whereas the grops download would only contain U-Times-Roman.
The problem with the current system (which I devised!) is that if your document uses .ft TR and you pass -P-yU you end up with a mongrel, groff using the meta-data from the TR font but gropdf embedding the font associated with U-TR, not ideal! Best not to use '-', Fontnames tend to use it, something like '!' perhaps. (But lookup place name 'Westward Ho!" [1] - "there's nowt as queer as folk").
