Follow-up Comment #2:

While I was at it I made our configure check play nicely with more recent
releases of the URW Base 35 fonts, which use different names for the font
files, most notably no longer naming them with a ".pfb" suffix.

    m4/groff.m4 (GROFF_URW_FONTS_CHECK): Freshen URL.
    
    * m4/groff.m4 (GROFF_URW_FONTS_CHECK): Update wording of notice when URW
      fonts are not found.  Replace dead URL with working one.  Try to hedge
      against the future, but the Web is an ephemeral place, as are the file
      names Artifex gives to its fonts.  Thanks to T. Kurt Bond and Thomas
      Dupond for reporting and investigating the problem.

    m4/groff.m4 (GROFF_URW_FONTS): Match newer names.
    
    * m4/groff.m4 (GROFF_URW_FONTS): Update configure script check for URW
      fonts to recognize recent releases of the URW Base 35 fonts from
      Artifex Software.  Look for the AR (Arial roman equivalent) font under
      all of the names recognized by fonts/devpdf/Foundry.in.
    
    Also tighten and generalize wording of checking message; these days it
    is misleading to suggest that people must find fonts with a .pfb suffix.
