From: Randy Sebra (SSAO) <randy@amsaa> I am having problems running vtroff with anything other than the default fonts, which I do not particularily like. Is there a way of loading other fonts to the Versatec(V-80) or replacing the defaults with some other? If not, why are all the font tables from greek to script doing taking up disk space ?? <confused> Randy Sebra randy@amsaa

Randy,
The other fonts work fine - but you must tell vtroff to
use them. The versatec itself does not use down-loaded fonts.
They are used by the `rvcat' and `vcat' routines. The versatec
just gets a bit stream. The proper technique is documented
(poorly) in vtroff(1). The instructions I am going to give you
are for 4.1Bsd. To use the bocklin fonts in all positions,
vtroff -F bocklin ...
is sufficient. To replace just one mounted font, try
vtroff -1 bocklin ...
Be aware that most of the fonts in /usr/lib/vfont are missing
both characters and entire size/type groups. Access to particular
point sizes and fonts within the four mounted must be done from
within your troff file.
