Details:
The DVI output driver has its own universe of fonts. Its equivalent of
Courier, "CW", exists but only has roman and italic styles. No bold and no
bold-italics. Unfortunate.
$ printf '.TH cr 1\n.EX\nfoo\n.EE\n' | groff -Tdvi -z -man -b -ww
/usr/share/groff/1.22.4/tmac/an-ext.tmac:188: backtrace: macro 'EX'
troff: <standard input>:2: warning: can't find font 'CR'
an-old.tmac should remap Courier fonts as follows to accommodate the EX macro
and users who request them with font escapes.
CR -> CW
CB -> CW
CI -> CWI
CBI -> CWI
