Understood. Those are indeed failures I would expect to see if the URW
fonts cannot be found, however I had thought that I had these test
scripts rigged up to "SKIP" in that event. Deri James and I spent some
effort working out the scenarios in preparatory work for the groff
1.24.0 release, and that support hasn't been touched since. So if
Manjaro Linux passed the test suite with 1.24.0 and the same host
environment, something fishy is going on.
Do you still have the "configuration summary" for this build handy?
It's the part of the log that looks like this.

I'm especially curious about the "gropdf service level" line. The
gropdf(1) man page has background.
