Vt is effectively equivalent to the Ft (it even uses the same font), so
it is not really of any preference over Ft, just use Ft where you would
use Vt.  And I do not think updating of mdoc(7) manuals is worth doing,
since the new Groff release will include the mdocNG with highly revised
and improved manuals.  I will ask Werner to remove the ``Fortran only''
comment though.
