Do you mean 3 1/2 fonts maximum simultaneous or 3 1/2 fonts maximum
period?  Neither CAT troff or psroff have the 2nd limit, and I've never
had much trouble with the former.  Though, I suppose I could circumvent
it somehow.  DWB style troffs do have a more flexible method of adding
characters, but you can get around that limitation with old troff with
psroff.
