A publishing house would like to buy time on a phototypesetter in order to
produce camera-ready copy for a new book.  The phototypesetter must provide
at least 500 dots per inch (more would be preferable) and it must offer the
Times font, or a close approximation, in the four typefaces Roman, Italic,
Bold, and Bold Italic.  It must also provide "another" font, something that
looks good but is easily distinguished from Times (e.g., Palatino), in the
two typefaces Roman and Italic.

They will provide output from the "new" troff (i.e., an ASCII description
of the document, not the binary codes which drive a C/A/T).  You must provide
a postprocessor which will interpret the troff output and drive the
phototypesetter accordingly.

They are prepared to pay up to $6 per page -- caeterus paribus, the lowest
offer will be accepted.
