I've been adding the tips and other goodies I have archived -- in  
fact, I had intended to point people to a "fonts" HOWTO that I put  
together a couple days ago. It could probably use a little  
attention... if you see something that needs to be added or fixed,  
click the "Edit" link at the bottom of the page and fix it!

http://www.port.de/cgi-bin/groff/ConvertingTrueTypeFonts    
(PostScript too, obviously)

BTW, I used the procedure described above to "port" the DejaVu font  
family to work with groff. I was thinking about setting UTP Revisited  
in DejaVu Serif when we get started on it (which can be any time "we"  
are ready).

If you don't want to bother with converting the fonts yourself, I've  
batched up the whole thing and put it at http://home.alltel.net/ 
~kollar/groff/dejavu-22-groff.tar.gz (3.2MB). Untar it in /usr/share/ 
groff; it puts everything in site-font/devps. You'll have to rename  
the "download.dejavu" file to "download" or cat it to the end of the  
current download file.
