commit d9751814dcba7d54c9c5292a8efd2ba04c375045
Author: G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>

[devpdf]: Clarify messages BuildFoundries emits.
* font/devpdf/util/BuildFoundries.pl (LoadFoundry): Clarify diagnostic
messages. A digital font, like "URWGothic-DemiOblique.t1", is not the
same thing as font description file for groff, like "ABI". We do our
users no favors by conflating these two concepts.
