Hi Branden,

One little quibble. Every font directory, either built-in path or 
GROFF_FONTPATH or -F flag can contain a download file, the new wording gives 
no indication which download file has the problem, once you know the 
particular download file involved and you find the entry for Symbol-Slanted it 
is that entry which needs correction, or the file it points to is not 
accessible.

What do you think?

Cheers 

Deri
