Adding font CWI (constant width italic) to devdvi.groff-1_16
* font/devdvi/CWI: New file. * font/devdvi/generate/Makefile: Add generating rule. * font/devdvi/DESC.in, font/devdvi/Makefile.sub, win32-diffs, tmac/tmac.dvi: Use it. * NEWS: Announce it. * font/devlj4/*: Regenerated (only adding kernings for `cq' glyph). * font/devlj4/generate/Makefile: Cosmetic changes only. * man/groff.man: Removed most of the redundant description of special characters (which is in groff_char.man). Added font translation CB->CR for devdvi. Other minor fixes. * tmac/tmac.dvi: Improved appearance of (co (copyright) and (rg (registered) symbols.
