The catdvi program reads a "catab" file to determine which glyph from which "RST" format font file to assign to each of the 512 CAT characters. You can look at the "chartab.txt" file to see the exact mapping, but in general the Roman font maps to "cmr", Italic to "cmti" and "cmi", Bold to "cmb", and Special to "cmsy" and "cmathx". The standard catab does not include any sans serif characters. In order to access other Imagen fonts from a troff document, you have to make your own catab with the charmap utility. Unfortunately, Imagen refuses to provide any documentation on this process. If you want to use the Berkeley fonts, you will have to convert them to RST format (good luck), then make a new catab. By the way, Imagen recommends buying ditroff and their Impress postprocessor if you want to use other fonts. The package costs $1K for the postprocessor and some mysterious amount for the ditroff binary license (or $4K for the source license from AT&T, probably less for a school).
