Can anyone tell me how I would go about getting access to a proper
fixed-width font within troff?  

We're using ptroff and an Apple LaserWriter.  I want something like
typewriter face that I can use for stuff like program examples; switching
into constant space mode while using either Times or Helvetica is pretty
ugly.  I'm sure lots of people must have come across this problem.  Have I
ust not read the manual carefully enough?

Any suggestions welcomed.
