I fully agree!

(Although this discussion not touches groff, it's Heriloom troff (derived from 
Solaris ditroff) related.)

The source had been distributed with the PDFs, but not the fonts.  They will be 
changed now to free fonts which can be distributed.

DWB (i.e. ditroff) for example has all documention as source code plus a 
makefile.  Works perfect.

It's the just name of a font.  If the font is adequate for the documents the 
name may not be too important.

(The included main document (mostly written by JFO and BWK) will be changed 
back to the original ditroff font anyway.)
