I find that this works, especially if you simply want to format in
something other than the Times fonts: R I B .
Using groff -mm
.fp 1 H
.fp 2 HI
.fp 3 HB
.ftr R H
.ftr I HI
.ftr B HB
.DS
Fig test
.FG "Fig test caption"
.DE
See .fp and .ftr in groff(7) .
It shouldn't take both .fp and .ftr to make the change but
looking into the /usr/share/groff/1.18.1/tmac/m.tmac , I find that there
both references to fonts by position and by hard-coded R I B names.
I'll take on the task of rationalizing that someday soon.
