Since there are only two versions of URW fonts roaming around the net,
original URW (AKA ghostscript-6 fonts) and current fonts (AKA
ghostscript-8 fonts, with Russian and extended Latin but also with bugs
and not 1-2-1 compatible with original URW fonts in the "old" part,
http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-devel/2004-October/006841.html ),
it seems reasonable to include ready groff font description files in the
distribution of your program. Valek Filippov, who extended URW fonts, made
some future versions available after ghostscript picked up his work, but
what distributions adopted them?

But if you really want the "greatest" extension of URW, you may want to
include the latest pfb/pfa files Filippov produced.

 Sincerely, Michail
