I'd rather not see this.  If you can't use troff, what about groff? 
It's free.  It'll even output TeX-dvi files with the computer modern
font, so if you think CM looks good then there's an instant way to
improve the look of text right now.  It also outputs raw PostScript
directly if you ask it nicely.
