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

The standart AR macro contain information about kerning.
Should these informations be manually added after conversion
from .otf to groff font, or are they part of the .pfa font?

Very nice font! My script works as expected with it. But,
since it only deal with variants glyphs (named
glyph.variation), a lot of things must be manually done:
looking at the glyphs in the font, and building handy macro to
access them easilly.
