Part of said procedure will be applying groff's customizations to the metrics,
such as the kernpairs added in bug #58897.

Another customization to consider is raised in the
[http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=280724f9d commit
280724f9d] log message: "Are our font metrics correct?  Why is it necessary to
apply spacing corrections between two glyphs [roman f and roman closing double
quotation mark] from the same face?"

Regenerating the font description files may answer the first of those
questions.  If the metrics _are_ correct according to the source, then this is
a flaw in the original font, and groff can add its own kernpairs to address
it.  (And I bet the single quote exhibits the same problem as the double.)
