Yup; it's a good time to grab groff 1.24.0 if you haven't already.

            This script, contributed by mom macro package author Peter
            Schaffter and long available at his web site, assists with
            making TrueType (.ttf), OpenType (.otf), and PostScript
            Type 1 (.pfa, .pfb) fonts available to groff.

            Change to its directory and run “bash install-font.bash -H”
            for a man page‐like description of its features and
            operation.
