Typically you get this error messages when running troff without the
"-Txxx" option (for example "-Talw when working with an Apple
LaserWriter).  When omitting "-Txxx", ditroff assumes to produce
output for an Autologic idonotknowwhatnumber typesetter (== "-Taps"
which is default).

You have to have the font descriptions for your PostScript printer
(generated by makedev) installed in /usr/lib/font/devxxx to make
ditroff rum properly with the -Txxx option.

I hope this will help you solving your problems,

Andy
