Someone reported that when they print a table they get the following:
% ezprint -Snil sched_90-09.table
Starting ezprint (Version 7.0, ATK 14.2); please wait...
troff: Can't open /usr/lib/font/devpsc/HR.out
Sure 'nuf, there is no HR font installed in our devpsc. Our transcript
build doesn't know anything about it. It's not mentioned in txttroff.c
with any of the andy-to-troff translations.
It _IS_ hard coded into table: in print.c: WriteTroff:
/* set up my state */
if (toplevel) {
fprintf(f, ".ft HR\n"); /* set my font */
fprintf(f, ".ps 10\n"); /* 10 point */
fprintf(f, ".vs 12p\n"); /* 12 point vertical spacing */
}
fprintf(f, ".nf\n"); /* no filling */

Does anyone know that the HR font is supposed to map to? My guess is
Helvetica Roman, but that's sort of a contradiction in terms. Might it
be Helvetica Regular, implying that H is a correct substitution? In
carefully going over the CMU devpsc directory and the MIT devpsc
directory, I theorize that the CMU version of ditroff, newer than the
MIT ditroff creates an HR which is just about the same.
Is there some very experienced person out there who can tell me where I
can modify the MIT ditroff to make the HR files?
