[bug #64130] [man] overrides troff's '-f' option

[G. Branden Robinson]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #64130 (project groff):

This bug also unnecessarily frustrates people who simply want to use a
different font family to view the man page, like Palatino ('-fP') or Helvetica
('-fH).

Also those are easier for me to test, and postpone the day when I need to
sweat the issue of changing the default family in certain localization files
(ja.tmac, zh.tmac).

The fix is a one-liner.
