This concerns the use of macro packages (such as ms or me) with troff... It so turns out that both ms and me wire in the fonts 1 thru 4. We were unable to make our macro packages work until we moved the timesroman fonts to positions 1 through 4. Unfortunately, this "inhibits" the use of other fonts with the standard font packages... Furthermore, we found it necessary to name the fonts 1 through 4. Other sites may not have found this necessary, but we certainly have. Now what I'd like to know is WHY ditroff doesn't emit a "w" after a tab! Mark.
