Hi Branden,

I noticed you fixed it by adding:-

.ftr CW CR

To utp.mac, which happens to be exactly the same as the line removed from 
ps.tmac in commit 1d8452fb, rather than adding -Wfont to the Makefile (which 
you have previously suggested), so you must have realised this was not just a 
warning, but also affected rendering of documents as well.

This commit is the sort of change which I think requires some sort of 
deprecation before the final change. If the warning was about the AT&T 
fontnames being deprecated but no change to the font used (i.e. continue to 
use CR), even though there would be 1000+ warnings, it would achieve your 
desire to drop support for the ancient font names but in a way which did not 
affect rendering of the document in the interim.

Cheers 

Deri
