I am having a problem with Typesetter Independent Troff. It is set up
with a DESC file that describes 26 different fonts. The problem comes
when I ask for font "B" and I get font "LB". Looking at the intermediate
output of Troff, font "B" gets mapped into 18 which is the number for
"LB" rather than the correct number: 3. When I ask for font 3 explicitly,
(like with a \f3) things work correctly.
Anybody have an clues? Below is out DESC file:
# describe the 'newraven' press device

The routine confuses ".ft B" with ".ft 17". (A corrollary of this problem is the inability to say ".ft 10".) You can either mount fewer than 16 fonts at startup and rely on the .fp directive, or modify findft() and casefp() to accept font positions greater than 10 and check for the difference between font requests by name and number.
