I would like to solve the problem, and I am not yet there. Right now I
need to get right fonts to install and work with Groff, as current
Groff instructions on how to get fonts are not updated, and I do not
have reference to fonts sources.

install-font.sh requires file names and font names, I cannot know how
to use it!

    install-font -F Garamond -f +R <file>
    creates font GaramondR, which can be accessed by

but which "file" to use?

Please tell me do I have right fonts here below?
