    grops(1): Improve TrueType font discussion.

    * src/devices/grops/grops.1.man (Usage/TrueType and other font formats):
      Remove dead URL to ttftot42 utility.  Update URL to fontforge tool.
      Replace much of the discussion with an example, motivated by Jordan
      Torbiak's "groff-install-font" script on GitHub Gist, of how to add
      the Roboto Slab Regular font to a user-local groff font directory (and
      how to test it, too).

    See https://gist.github.com/torbiak/3352fe1f559dbfbf99d6f5704adf442e for
    aforementioned script.

The man page for 'grops' mentions "ttftot42" but this
program is now obsolete and won't compile out of the box.
 I did find "ttftotype42" in the distribution, part of package lcdf-typetools.

It does not generate AFM, but there is a program "ttf2afm" which
does.
