The one big problem with groff (a system I otherwise admire) is the exceeding difficulty of using anything but the built-in fonts. Adding fonts requires conversions using FontForge or other tools to an old PostScript format, followed by multiple steps to get it recognized properly by groff. And you have to do this for every font file--including the bold, italic, condensed, etc. variants one at a time.
