Good idea!

For reference, here's the command line from make (ktrace is BSD/OS's
version of strace):

GROFF_COMMAND_PREFIX='';  export GROFF_COMMAND_PREFIX;  GROFF_BIN_PATH=`echo 
/public/GNU/groff/src/roff/groff  /public/GNU/groff/src/roff/troff  
/public/GNU/groff/src/preproc/pic  /public/GNU/groff/src/preproc/eqn  
/public/GNU/groff/src/preproc/tbl  /public/GNU/groff/src/preproc/grn  
/public/GNU/groff/src/preproc/refer  /public/GNU/groff/src/preproc/soelim  
/public/GNU/groff/src/preproc/html  /public/GNU/groff/src/devices/grops  
/public/GNU/groff/src/devices/grohtml | sed -e 's|  *|:|g'`;  export 
GROFF_BIN_PATH;  sed -e "s;@VERSION@;1.19.2;" meref.me  | ktrace -i 
/public/GNU/groff/src/roff/groff/groff -M/public/GNU/groff/tmac 
-M/public/GNU/groff/tmac -F/public/GNU/groff/font -F/public/GNU/groff/font 
-Upet -ww -Tps -ge -me >meref.ps

groff itself works fine, the first place it looks is in the directory
specified by -F on the command line, the file exists and is opened
successfully:

  8860 groff    CALL  open(0x805e040,0,0x1b6)
  8860 groff    NAMI  "/public/GNU/groff/font/devps/DESC"
  8860 groff    RET   open 3

But when it forks and execs grn, grn doesn't pay any attention to the
command line font directories, it only looks in the default places and
then complains that it can't find the DESC file:

  8863 grn      CALL  open(0x805d040,0,0x1b6)
  8863 grn      NAMI  "/usr/local/share/groff/site-font/devps/DESC"
  8863 grn      RET   open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
  8863 grn      CALL  open(0x805d040,0,0x1b6)
  8863 grn      NAMI  "/usr/local/share/groff/1.19.2/font/devps/DESC"
  8863 grn      RET   open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
  8863 grn      CALL  open(0x80590a0,0,0x1b6)
  8863 grn      NAMI  "/usr/lib/font/devps/DESC"
  8863 grn      RET   open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
  8863 grn      CALL  write(0x2,0x804614c,0x4)
  8863 grn      GIO   fd 2 wrote 4 bytes
       "grn:"

Likewise, when it forks and execs troff, troff doesn't pay any attention
to the command line font directories and only looks in the standard
places:

  8865 troff    CALL  open(0x80da0c0,0,0x1b6)
  8865 troff    NAMI  "/usr/local/share/groff/site-font/devps/DESC"
  8865 troff    RET   open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
  8865 troff    CALL  open(0x80da0c0,0,0x1b6)
  8865 troff    NAMI  "/usr/local/share/groff/1.19.2/font/devps/DESC"
  8865 troff    RET   open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
  8865 troff    CALL  open(0x80de2a0,0,0x1b6)
  8865 troff    NAMI  "/usr/lib/font/devps/DESC"
  8865 troff    RET   open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
  8865 troff    CALL  write(0x2,0x80b3474,0x1e)
  8865 troff    GIO   fd 2 wrote 30 bytes
       "troff: can't find `DESC' file\n"

It appears that groff doesn't pass the command line font directories on
directly but rather sets an environment variable ($GROFF_FONT_PATH). 
That variable does seem to be set correctly for both grn and troff, but
they don't seem to be paying any attention to it.  Here's the complete
