I sent a PostScript program to Info-PostScript which generates
.afm files from the font descriptions in the LaserWriter +.
These files can then be used with the TranScript software to
produce new font files to allow these fonts to be used with
Ditroff.  I suspect that using them with troff will be about as
much fun as pulling your own teeth out, but you are welcome to
try.

Anyone who wants a copy of this program but didn't catch it
as it went past on Info-PostScript, mail me and I will send it
to you. If there is sufficient interest I will send it to
mod.sources as well.
