Details:
Script location: https://www.schaffter.ca/mom/mom-05.html#install-font
Use of the install-font.sh script makes installing fonts for groff much, much
easier. It should be integrated into groff.
== Preliminary Tasks ==
* Make the script portable by removing dependencies on bash-specific features
- see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2020-04/msg00079.html
and downthread; thread continues, not linked to the previous one, at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2020-05/msg00000.html
* Write a man page
* Write some test cases to ensure it works as expected
== Mailing List Discussion ==
* Initial suggestion with tasks involved:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2021-07/msg00061.html
* Further discussion of tasks and links to previous discussion:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2021-07/msg00065.html
* Difficulties in making the script general enough to handle the
inconsistences of distributions due to different locations or absence of the
site-font directory:
