test.mm: Failed to open '/usr/share/ghostscript/9.50/Resource/Font/NimbusRoman-Regular'

The paths are outdated in the /usr/share/groff/1.22.4/font/devpdf/download file:

$ head /usr/share/groff/1.22.4/font/devpdf/download

The current version is 9.53.3:

$ ls /usr/share/ghostscript/*/Resource/Font/NimbusRoman-Regular
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.53.3/Resource/Font/NimbusRoman-Regular

Additional info:

$ pacman -Qi groff ghostscript | egrep 'Name|Version'
Name : groff
Version : 1.22.4-3
Name : ghostscript

When corrected with

# sed -i 's/9\.50/9.53.3/g' /usr/share/groff/1.22.4/font/devpdf/download

The generated PDF successfully contains the embedded fonts.
