Which font is that?  To the best of my knowledge, we use only the
ordinary texinfo stuff, and that uses the Computer Modern fonts by
default, and these are public domain or something.

A PDF for the 0.7.0 manual is available at
<https://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/gforth-0.7.0.pdf>.
The later 0.7 releases just fix installation problems, so the manual
has not changed.  If you work with a snapshot, there are some changes
ion the manual, but it's still mostly the same.
