[bug #63808] configure gives incorrect information regarding pdf generation

[G. Branden Robinson]

Follow-up Comment #29, bug #63808 (project groff):

Hi Deri,

My diagnosis in comment #28 appears to have been correct.

There is a problem with checking all 35 fonts in the default foundry for
gropdf in the "urw absent, gs present" scenario.

It seems the non-base-14 font descriptions are not being copied to
font/devpdf/

Here's some post-mortem info.

So URWGothic-Demi is definitely present, is in one of the directories reported
by "gs -h", and yet the special "(gs)" token in the Foundry file doesn't seem
to be leading gropdf to it.

I'll dig more into this.  Any eureka insights you have would of course be
welcome.  :)
