grops question

[Aharon Robbins]

Hi.  I have some additional postscript fonts that I like to have available.
Every time I install Linux I have to copy these into the /usr/share/.../devps
directory and update the download and DESC files.

Is there some way to specify a search path (e.g., an environment variable)
so that I can keep my personal fonts off in /usr/local/ or $HOME somewhere
and then grops will find things?  Then it's one less thing to remember to
do when I update my linux dist or build groff from scratch.

As a separate question, why in the world is Fedora still shipping groff 1.18.x?
(Yes, I know is this GNU list, but maybe y'all know or can do something about
it.)

Finally, THANKS for the great work on groff. It's a wonderful program.
