    font/devps/*: Kern horizontal ellipsis correctly.
    
    Commit 87edb525, from 2003, added character U+2026 (HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS)
    to most base groff fonts, but there has been no kerning information for
    this character.  To produce consistent typography, it should be kerned
    the same way as the period, which is in 818 kern pairs across all the
    devps fonts.
    
    Apply the following shell command to the groff description files
    of the PostScript fonts.
    
      for file in font/devps/*[A-Z]
        do sed -Ei\~ 's/(.*)(^| )\. (.*)/&\n\1\2u2026 \3/' $file
      done

    Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58897>.  However, this will need
    to be done again if afmtodit is used to regenerate the above files, or
    afmtodit will need to be modified to add this kerning information
    itself.
