The URW++ fonts (i.e., U-*) should be installed when you build Groff. One would hope that your Gnu/Linux distro vendor would include them, but that's not guaranteed. Worse, URW++ changed the names of their files a while back, and not all the distro vendors have caught up. If the U-* fonts won't install when you build Groff, you'll need to install new fonts manually. I suggest using the "install-font" script that is included with MOM. I used that to install the TeX Gyre fonts, which I am quite happy with. The TeX Gyre fonts are a replacement for the 35 URW++ PostScript fonts, and work quite nicely. (And before you ask, they do have "Č". :-) ) Installing the fonts is not difficult, but it is a bit time consuming. Oh, and I strongly suggest installing them into the site-fonts directory: /usr/local/share/groff/site-font/ This way you won't lose your fonts when you upgrade Groff. > Do I need to use devpdf/util/BuildFoundries somehow? I believe that BuildFoundries is for the internal use of the font installation part of the Groff installation system. > Is there example how to use it? Not that I've ever seen. Good luck, and I hope this helps! -- --dds "And finally, _thinking_ is an exercise to which all too few brains are accustomed." --E.E. "Doc" Smith, _First Lensman_
