I am trying to access the Courier constant-width font in a troff-formatted
document that has Times-Roman mounted on fonts 1-3 (roman, italic, bold)
and special characters on font 4.  I am using the Sun Transcript package
(version 2.1, 1985) that converts troff CAT output to PostScript for the
Sun LaserWriter.  This is running on a Sun 3/160 with Sun OS 4.0.3.  I
created a Courier.map file using the Times.map file as a template, then
modified the Makefile in /usr/local/lib/lw/troff.font so that it made the
Courier.ct file from the Courier.map file.  Attempts to use the Courier
font directly like this, \fCword\fP embedded in the document, fail.
Attempts to mount Courier on font position 5 with .fp 5 C and to use
\f5word\fP embedded in the document also fail.  Attempts to mount Courier
temporarily on font position 3 .fp 3 C \f3word .fp 3 B also fail.  This is
NOT an nroff/troff question because I know accessing the constant-width
font by mounting it on font position 5 works in other packages such as
xroff from Image Network Company.  So this is definitely a Transcript
question and is an appropriate submission to Sun Spots.  Does anybody know
how to access the constant-width Courier font when the Times-Roman font is
already mounted on font positions 1 to 3?  Thanks.
