Can anybody tell me the magic troff incantation for jimmying a font
so that its characters come out in a fixed-pitch spacing? I'd like
to be able to print netnews ".signature" files in troff, and have
all of the cute graphics come out. I know about the ".cs" command,
but I don't know what arguments to give it and I don't know how
to un-do its effect when I am done with the fixed-width stuff.
