Hi folks,

Happy to report this.

commit 20a41b7640a67a2f4a0c8ca129ab24fcc6cd9c70 (origin/master, origin/HEAD)
Author: G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
Date:   Fri Nov 14 13:16:35 2025 -0600

    [install-font]: Add new component.
    
    * Makefile.am: Include "contrib/install-font/install-font.am".
    
    * contrib/install-font/install-font.bash: Import Peter Schaffter's
      "install-font.sh" script from his website.  Rename as shown; its
      "shebang" line declares it a Bash script (albeit one that operates in
      Bash's POSIX mode).  Cosmetic changes to Peter's version comprise
      removal of trailing whitespace, a replacement of the GPL license
      notice with model language from the current version of the GPL, and
      addition of a Vim modeline reflecting the code style in evidence.  I
      also recoded the file to plain ASCII (Unicode Basic Latin), the only
      consequence of which was dropping of the U+00A9 copyright sign.
    
    * contrib/install-font/COPYRIGHT: Add file promised by groff's
      "LICENSES" file.
    
    * contrib/install-font/install-font.am: Automake script, when driven by
      a groff build, installs "install-font.bash" to the target's "examples"
      directory.
    
    Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60930>.

This doesn't take care of documentation updates, which are being tracked
in another ticket.

Peter, I'd like to know from you how much patience you'd have for me
going bonkers on that script, shell-style-wise.  :)

Regards,
Branden
