   We have a vanilla Mergenthaler Linotron and we're interested in printing
documents processed by 'eqn' with it.  Our problem is that we don't seem to
have a font around that includes brace and bracket pieces.  I called up
Mergenthaler and our rep hadn't heard of 'troff' so she didn't know if they
had an appropriate font.  So here are some questions:

1. Does anyone out there use 'eqn' on a Linotron 202?

2. If so, how does it handle bracket building?

3. Is there an existing Mergenthaler font that contains the appropriate
   bracket pieces?  If so, could you tell me what its name is?

Thanks much.

Rick.
