I decided to do this instead.


commit f9a017fc434a4025e9186a600ce7fde729539337

    [pfbtops]: Add test for `pfbtops` command.
    
    * src/util/pfbtops/tests/smoke-test.sh: Do it.
    * src/util/pfbtops//pfbtops.am (pfbtops_TESTS): Run test.
      (TESTS): Add test to suite.
      (EXTRA_DIST): Ship test in distribution archive.


However I'm also doing this:


commit 545633c2da201a9b25e12f62b869f124c9fa0dd3

    [devpdf]: Ship source for StandardSymSL font.
    
    * font/devpdf/generate/StandardSymSL.sfd: Add human-readable source
      format for new font.  Everything in groff is available under the GNU
      GPL, so we should provide a "preferred form for modification".  (We
      already do so for "freeeuro.sfd".)
    
    * font/devpdf/devpdf.am (EXTRA_DIST): ...and ship it in the distribution
      archive.  At this time, we also ship the "compiled" PFB file; the
      build process does not perform any transformation of the source SFD
      file.  That can change in the future if we can tolerate a build-time
      dependency on fontforge(1).
