The answer to your question is "yes it is, but..." Groff uses
PostScript Type 1 or Type 42 fonts (.pfa or .t42). So other font
types have to be converted into something Groff can digest. Peter
Schaffter (creator of the mom macro package, which I _highly_
recommend) has a shell script which can convert several font
types. Surf to
<http://www.schaffter.ca/mom/mom-05.html#install-font>
to find it. If memory serves, Tadziu Hoffman also has a method,
different from Peter's. You'll have to search the mailing list
archives for to find it. (Found it. Date: 2013-11-12,
