Install ttf and otf fonts for use with groff

groff-install-font

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# groff-install-ttf converts a TrueType (ttf) or OpenType (otf) font to a
# Printer Font ASCII (pfa) font and a groff font (ditroff) and installs them to
# groff's site-font directory.
#
# Requires fontforge.
#
# You're the best, Peter Schaffter, but contrary to the verbose and
# difficult-to-follow http://www.schaffter.ca/mom/momdoc/appendices.html#fonts,
# the t42 file doesn't seem to be necessary, at least with recent versions of
# groff. Just copy the groff font and pfa generated by fontforge to both
# site-font device directories (devps, devpdf) and update the "download" files
# with the internalname -> <pfa> mapping.
#
# Note that "groffname" needs to match groff's conventions for font styles.
# Regular should end with "R", bold with "B", etc.

afmtodit "$name.afm" "$textmap" "$groffname"

mkdir -p "$sitefont"
for dir in "$sitefont"/dev{ps,pdf}; do
    mkdir -p "$dir"
    cp "$name.pfa" "$groffname" "$dir"
done

internalname=$(awk '/^internalname/ {print $2}' "$groffname")
echo -e "$internalname\t$name.pfa" >>"$fontdir/devps/download"
echo -e "\t$internalname\t$name.pfa" >>"$fontdir/devpdf/download"

I think the shebang "/usr/bin/env bash" leads to a problem with the echo flag -e.
Reset it to /usr/bin/bash or /bin/bash (for my Ubuntu Linux).
Also I unpacked the for iteration to make it work:
for dir in "$sitefont"/devps "$sitefont"/devpdf; do
Otherwise the bash script worked well, thank you for sharing it.
