Let me clarify this.  What I really meant to as was how do I convience
ptroff, the shell script which runs troff, to use a built in font that adobe
did not already build the troff font files for?  By default the transcript
installation only builds troff font data for AvantGarde, Bookman, Courier,
Garamond, Helvetica, Helvetica Narrow, Lubalin, New Century School Book,
Optima, Palatino, Souvenir, Times, and Zapf.  What about the other ~22 fonts
my LaserWriter II NTX knows about?

Thanks again.  I hope this is more clearly stated than my last attempt.
