Re: URW font support

[Krzysztof Żelechowski]

The aliases are required by your generate/Makefile, I cannot change them 
without patching.  I also suppose they are invented by Adobe for MS-DOS 
so I would rather leave them as they are.
For the time being, the only documentation is in the spec file; I do not 
intend to explain it to the user it because my intention is to override 
your font/devps system-wide (by setting GROFF_FONT_PATH).  Maybe some 
README.SUSE would be appropriate if the change is accepted.
I would like you to transform the build script of groff to also create 
and install font/gs/devps using the steps that I explicitly scripted or 
similar ones.  I can help you with that but only if you consider it 
worth while.  Note that my scripts are in bash which is good for SUSE 
but need not work elsewhere.
Cheers,
Chris
