Support for EAPI=8 was recently added to font.eclass (see bug 806496), but this is not reflected in the devmanual: https://devmanual.gentoo.org/eclass-reference/font.eclass/index.html
Eclass documentation in the devmanual is automatically generated from app-doc/eclass-manpages. We make a new snapshot a few times per year, but not after every eclass update. Current version is 20220316 (and it just missed the font.eclass update), so it may take a couple of months until the next version bump.
I'll make a new snapshot as soon as the updates currently under review in gentoo-dev have been merged (i.e. vim-*.eclass and elisp-common.eclass).
