Not much to say, other than I tried it and it works for me as advertised.
Very nice. I suppose that the large majority of users would want these
features and consequently your version of s.tmac perhaps ought to replace
the current official one. In that case, I think the -rPDFFEAT=1 option
should be the default and as such it should not be necessary to give it as
an option to the groff command line - there are enough options already. Only
if you want to turn off the features, then -rPDFFEAT=0 would be needed.

I wonder what happens to your contributions?: The ttffontinstall.pl script
lives a completely obscure life as an attachment to a bug report and
possibly this one will be found only if someone stumbles upon this thread in
the mail archive. Why not put both of them in the ../contrib directory in
the latest development version of groff? The s.tmac should then perhaps be
renamed to "sd.tmac" or something and sourced from msd.tmac - 'd' for Deri
;) This would ensure them being used and tested.

Regards,
Morten
