> Has anyone out there used downloadable Adobe fonts with troff?

Yes.  It may be somewhat involved, depending on which Troff are using.
Since I see from our records that you are an EROFF user, you can use
the "psdl" facility of EROFF.  Chapter 2 talks about using the "afmwidth"
command to automatically generate the Troff font metric files.

We have successfully downloaded lots of PostScript fonts with EROFF.
