very nice indeed.
most of my troff work these days is with man pages. it looks like
replacing the line:
{ 9 tbl $tmp.tr | 9 troff -ms | tr2post >$tmp.ps_
with
{ `{doctype $tmp.tr} | tr2post >$tmp.ps_
will get it to use the right macro packages (and other tools as
needed). i also added a ". 9.rc" up front to encourage it to pick up
plan9's troff and friends (since doctype provides command names
without paths).
both the original and my modified version seem to be getting fonts
wrong, with lots of overlap. likely a local issue.
