Details:
If one doesn't have URW fonts installed, the Groff configure script emits the
following message:
configure:
No URW fonts in .pfb format were found on your system, URW fonts
generation for 'devpdf' will not work properly. These fonts can be
downloaded here:
http://downloads.ghostscript.com/public/fonts/urw-base35-v1.10.zip
By default groff will search these fonts in the paths given by `gs
-h' and in these 2 default directories:
'/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/' and
'/opt/local/share/fonts/urw-fonts/' (paths used by
font/devpdf/Foundry.in). You can also pass the option
'--with-urw-fonts-dir=DIR' to 'configure' to set a custom path. You
would need to re-run the 'configure' script after installing these
fonts.
First, the URL is outdated: it yields 404.
More importantly, the configure script insists on using GhostScript, even if
one finds and installs the fonts, and then invokes the configure script with
'--with-urw-fonts-dir=DIR'. If GhostScript is indeed required, it should be
mentioned in the above text.
