Psroff (the one I wrote, NOT transcript) has a postscript program that you send
to your printer, and it will send a shar file back to the host computer that
contains ditroff format width tables for the fonts you want.  Psroff also
contains software to convert ditroff width table files into CAT troff width
tables.  So, whether you're working with CAT or di- troff psroff has what
you want.

Contact me if you want more info.
