Nope, I had just confused the "old" AFMs with the "new" ones.
It turns out our grops(1) man page is wrong:
Old fonts
groff versions 1.19.2 and earlier contained descriptions of a
slightly different set of the base 35 PostScript level 2 fonts
defined by Adobe. The older set has 229 glyphs and a larger set of
kerning pairs; the newer one has 314 glyphs, including the Euro
sign. For backward compatibility, these old font descriptions are
also installed in the /home/branden/groff-HEAD/share/groff/1.23.0/
oldfont/devps directory.
It turns out that the older set has more glyphs _and_ more kerning
pairs.
No idea why.
In any case, this man page needs fixing. So I'll fix it.
