  We have recently installed A/UX 2.0 on some Macs (we ran the previous
version of A/UX before that).  On the previous version ditroff seemed to
run fine on our laser printer (LaserWriter):
	tbl file | ditroff -me -Tpsc | psdit | lpr

  Now however under the new A/UX 2.0, some of the special characters are
not being printed correctly.  For example the symbol for one-quarter \(14
is being printed with a funny symbol in the middle instead of the slash 1/4.
Also left and right quotes are being printed like ``this'' with double
left and right ticks, rather than correctly as the previous version, as
the raised comma-looking characters.  There may be more incorrect ones,
but these are all I know about so far.
  Has anyone else experienced this problem?  Any solutions or workarounds?
Send e-mail and I will summarize for the net.  Thanks for your help.
