clarify font selection for pdf -t ms (#8421)
Previous versions of the documentation did not clarify much which options of font selection are available for the generation of .pdf via `-t ms`. Nor was there a description how to extend the set of of fonts provided by ghostscript/pdfgroff. This commit equally hints to Peter Schaffter's script install-fonts.sh to facilitate greatly the later, too.
