Re: URW font support

[Krzysztof Żelechowski]

<URL:

A device to use Ghostscript fonts with troff output, useful for locale 
other than ISO Latin1; installs as 
/usr/share/groff/current/font/gs/devps.  It replaces all standard fonts, 
so you cannot use the default fonts at the same time.
Please review (of course, the build should migrate to a makefile if 
accepted) and consider for inclusion.
