Follow-up Comment #3, bug #62921 (project groff):

Hi Joerg,

readable on screen. use it as my standard font in the terminal. PTSerif and
PTsans are also very decent (and I use them with groff) end-off-topic

I use FreeMono as my terminal font and have been pleased with it for several
years.

> currently the barrier to using any font outside the canonical base set is
rather high for the average user I'd say. and the hurdle is not editing
'download' but generating the font description files. so if the latter where
provided for a selection of good, free fonts users might appreciate that.

Granted.  Do you think the instructions as they currently exist in the
_gropdf_(1) and _grops_(1) man pages in Git HEAD are an improvement over past
efforts?  Do they make the impulse for duplicative shipment of fonts less
acute?
