Since I just went through this exercise, I can answer some of your
questions on using fonts, troff, and transcript.

There is an option to ptroff for the font family (-F).
The default is Times Roman. You can also select Helvetica.
e.g.
	ptroff -FHelvetica [options]

The third - Courier - the constant width font, can be built
by going into /usr/local/lib/ps/troff.fonts:

Step 1 - make the file Courier.head (included)
Step 2 - Make the file Courier.map by copying Helvetica.map and applying
	the patches given. (included)
Step 3 - Patch the make file (included)
Step 4 - touch (create) the file Courier.ct (needed for make)
Step 5 - type 'make install'

- You should be able to use the Courier font.
e.g.
	ptroff -FCourier

If you want to mix font families, you can fool old troff by
creating a new Family.head - that has a special combination
of Courier, Time-Roman, and/or Helvetica on font positions
1, 2 and 3.

Go through the same procedure as in Courier, and patch the appropriate
entries.
--------------
Courier.head:
----------------------------------------------
.fp 1 C
.fp 2 CI
.fp 3 CB
.fp 4 S
.lg 0
--------------------------------------------------

Note the line to disable ligatures. (.lg 0 )

Thanks to Bruce, who lead me in the right direction, I too installed the
Courier stuff.  I will also be installing the other fonts that are on the
LaserWriter+.  But, some of the things that Bruce tells you to do will get
lost if you ever do a complete installation again (possible, as I have done it).

I will show the changes in what to do below.

<There is an option to ptroff for the font family (-F).
<The default is Times Roman. You can also select Helvetica.
<e.g.
<	ptroff -FHelvetica [options]
		^^^^^^^^^^
	       -F Helvetica
<
<The third - Courier - the constant width font, can be built

Yes and no.  You can do this stuff there, and probably should so that
you don't have to do a complete installation again.  But, if a complete
installation is ever called for, some of this stuff may go away.  You want to
do the stuff to the Makefile in the ~transcript/lib/troff.font source
directory.  BTW, it is troff.font, not troff.fonts.  By doing it in the
source directory, you can rest easy that the next complete installation
will not cause your stuff to go away.  

<Step 1 - make the file Courier.head (included)

This step is not necessary as the Makefile will do it for you.

<Step 2 - Make the file Courier.map by copying Helvetica.map and applying
<	the patches given. (included)
<Step 3 - Patch the make file (included)
<Step 4 - touch (create) the file Courier.ct (needed for make)

Not necessary.  If the .ct file is missing, make will do the job for you.

Step 4a - patch the head.awk file.  Add the following line before the 'exit'
	on line 17 (or there abouts):

		if ($2 == "C") print ".lg 0"

If you do a complete re-installation, then only change the source files.
If not, then copy the changed stuff over to the working directory.

<Step 5 - type 'make install'
<
<- You should be able to use the Courier font.
<e.g.
<	ptroff -FCourier
		^^^^^^^^
	       -F Courier

<--------------
<Courier.head:
<----------------------------------------------
<.fp 1 C
<.fp 2 CI
<.fp 3 CB
<.fp 4 S
<.lg 0
<--------------------------------------------------
<
<Note the line to disable ligatures. (.lg 0 )

As indicated above, creating this file manually is not necessary.
As a matter of fact, even if you did create it, it would be recreated and
the '.lg 0' line would be missing, if you didn't do my head.awk file
change.

[some corrections to my posting - sigh! teach me to trust a manual page.]

In a previous posting I asked about converting the Berkeley fonts
into postscript and using them in a [di]troff/postscript document -

I don't have any programs yet to automate this. But the best lead so
far is the program bldfamily in Sun's 1.1 release of NeWS.
This can be used to build a postscript font from a versatec raster font.

It looks good, but I still have to figure out the proper glue.
