I would not ask really here, if I would just get it straight from
documentation.

If anybody has produced the font with install-font.sh let me see the
applicable example for tex-gyre fonts, or other solution as I wish to
build groff and use it.

Thanks, I got it, but is simply not enough.

I cannot know by that description neither font name to which family
certain font should belong.

I cannot know should I or not use this option

I cannot know what is common way to do it.

If somebody did make it, let me know, as all what I want is to build
