Actually, there are different drivers for otroff, ditroff and TeX since
they produce different output formats.  The troff fonts I created include
all the troff characters (including hands) and the characters are in the
same order as the Berkeley font catalog.  Both my otroff and ditroff drivers
use the fonts created from my hacked METAFONT sources, but my TeX driver
uses standard TeX fonts.  Knuth didn't leave me any space to add troff
characters to TeX fonts.

It is.  I stole as much as I could from the TeX fonts and created the 
other characters I needed.  As I recall, the registered trademark symbol
looks OK but the fractions (i.e., 1/4, 3/4) look like hell.  I'm not a 
great METAFONTer.
