If you want to assign symbolic names to troff fonts, you can use a troff
string define IF you have device-independent troff. You will need to test
the value of the .T string and define the string accordingly. At our site,
we have a Dataproducts PostScript printer and an Imagen. I use this code to
handle the different names for the Courier font:
.\" Ef is example font (Courier), which is used in code displays.
.\" If the string .T is 300, we are on the Imagen and Courier is L.
.\" If the string .T is psc, we are on the Dataproducts and it is C.
.if t .if '\*(.T'300' .ds Ef L
.if t .if '\*(.T'psc' .ds Ef C
.DS
\f\*(Ef
main(argv, argc)
.
.
\fR
.DE
Remember that this works only for device-independent troff.
