Have you checked the fonts in /usr/andrew/fonts?  There should be an
andysans12b.fwm file which is a link to a helvetica12b.fwm file.  Both
files would have to be readable by all users.  (Or possibly there is
some difference in font support between R2 and R3.  I don't know about
that area.)

ATK relies on postscript for graphics and rasters; you would have to use
a postscript printer.

The input to formatcommand is a file in troff input form.  The output
can be in whatever form is suitable for input to the printcommand.  You
have to run troff with -Tpsc.  The printcommand should somehow arrange
to run the device-independent troff output through Adobe's transcript
software (psdit is the specific program) to get from troff output to
postscript input.

I suspect some problem with your templates or template paths.  You can
test this hypothesis by selecting AddTemplate from the File menu and
giving the full pathname of a template file
(/usr/andrew/lib/templates/default.template may be such a file).

Uhm - if this is for X11 - then you're not interested in DESTDIR/fonts
or .fwm files - you're interested in DESTDIR/X11fonts and .snf files

In which case there should be a helvetica12b.snf file

If you're running R3 X11 there should be a fonts.dir file which has an
entry for helvetica12b - and there should be a fonts.alias file which
has shows that andysans12b is synonymous with helvetica12b.  If this
isn't set up - you have to do a make install of andrew/xmkfontdir

I don't remember what the X font convention was for R2 - I know it was
different but that's about it. - make install andrew/xmkfontdir might
help - I don't know though.
