    *  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?

Start by looking at the TranScript Manual page pscatmap(8).

Remember that old troff can only mount four fonts at a time.
Use the -F command line option to ptroff to switch font groups.
