I'm not aware about font formats... And so, I've got a last
question:

manually added after conversion from .otf to groff font, or are they
part of the .pfa font?
What you actually need is a cff2afm program, however, this doesn't

Yes, of course.
BUT: You can use FontForge to load any font, then converting it to a
Type1 font and an AFM file. I just tried it for `Linux Biolinum'
(from the Libertine family): The AFM
I've made some tests. Here is a tutorial about how to use OpenType
fonts with groff.
Thanks! I haven't tested yet your recipe, however, some comments.

The case of heirloom troff is quite strange:

- It's onliest - minor, in my opinion - default is the usage of

Hello alls!
