As far as I remember, the script only installs in directories that usually needs root privileges for access? My groff mode from https://jedmodes.sourceforge.io/mode/groff_mode/, will use GROFF_FONT_PATH to install opentype and truetype fonts for use with groff. It can also install whole directories of these fonts. It is of course tied to the Jed editor, but that in itself should be no excuse for not using it, as you can just use it for that single purpose ;) - i.e. if you really need that solution.
