The URW++ fonts (i.e., U-*) should be installed when you build Groff. One
would hope that your Gnu/Linux distro vendor would include them, but that's
not guaranteed. Worse, URW++ changed the names of their files a while
back, and not all the distro vendors have caught up. If the U-* fonts
won't install when you build Groff, you'll need to install new fonts
manually. I suggest using the "install-font" script that is included with
MOM. I used that to install the TeX Gyre fonts, which I am quite happy
with. The TeX Gyre fonts are a replacement for the 35 URW++ PostScript
fonts, and work quite nicely. (And before you ask, they do have "Č". :-)
) Installing the fonts is not difficult, but it is a bit time consuming.
Oh, and I strongly suggest installing them into the site-fonts directory:
/usr/local/share/groff/site-font/
This way you won't lose your fonts when you upgrade Groff.

I believe that BuildFoundries is for the internal use of the font
installation part of the Groff installation system.

Not that I've ever seen.
Good luck, and I hope this helps!
