What do you mean by characters "not lining up"?  Does it look as if
troff is getting the widths of the characters wrong?  If so, either
you've not built/installed the width tables correctly, or the width
tables themselves are wrong.  Look into the R, I, B etc. files, make
sure that they're being processed properly by makedev, and installed.

On the other hand, it could be that the widths are wrong.  It could
be that tpscript isn't selecting the font that it thinks it is, or
that your printer has a different font set.  There are postscript
programs in the tpscript release that you can download to get the
character widths regenerated.
