I'm a bit worried that with the font regenerated from the packaged one
and pfbtops(1) I get a lot more warnings.  The PDF still seems okay at
first glance, but I'm not sure if there's something wrong with what I'm
doing:


$ pfbtops \
	/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/google/tinos/Tinos.pfb \
	>scripts/LinuxManBook/devpdf/Tinos.pfa ;
$ make build-man -j24 >/dev/null;
$ make build-pdf-book |& wc -l;
1349
$ git stash;
Saved working directory and index state WIP on contrib: 49e6388bb share/mk/: srcfix
$ rm .tmp/man-pages-*.pdf;
$ make build-pdf-book |& wc -l;
260


Maybe I also need to regenerate the TINOR file?  And how do I regenerate
that one, and what's its source?

Cheers,
Alex
