[9fans] troff in plan9port with a problem in tr2post

I'd like to write a document in plan9port's troff (I'll need esperanto 
glyphs), and I even cannot success getting a postscript from a manpage.

I run, as stated in tr2post(1):
troff -man /usr/plan9/man/man1/tr2post.1 | tr2post | psfonts

and I get:
%!PS-Adobe-2.0
tr2post: <stdin>:6 :WARNING: cannot open file #9/troff/font/devps/TR
tr2post: <stdin>:6 :WARNING: fontpos=5
tr2post: <stdin>:6 :WARNING: fontmtab[0]=0x0
tr2post: <stdin>:6 :WARNING: fontmtab[1]=R
tr2post: <stdin>:6 :WARNING: fontmtab[2]=I
tr2post: <stdin>:6 :WARNING: fontmtab[3]=B
tr2post: <stdin>:6 :WARNING: fontmtab[4]=BI
tr2post: <stdin>:6 :WARNING: fontmtab[5]=TR
tr2post: <stdin>:6 :WARNING: fontmtab[6]=H
tr2post: <stdin>:6 :WARNING: fontmtab[7]=HI
tr2post: <stdin>:6 :WARNING: fontmtab[8]=HB
tr2post: <stdin>:6 :WARNING: fontmtab[9]=S1
tr2post: <stdin>:6 :WARNING: fontmtab[10]=S

being the tr2post: lines in stderr. Any clue about the problem? It's the 
first time I'm trying to use plan9's troff, so I'm quite lost.

Thanks in advance,
Lluís

Run

9 troff -man /usr/plan9/man/man1/tr2post.1 | tr2post | psfonts

to avoid invoking the Unix troff on your system.

What username you use ? (hint "user[none]:" at this prompt you must use
glenda :)
How old plan9.iso is ?
Try to ls '#i'

update /sys/src/9/pc/vgavmware.c and /sys/src/cmd/aux/vga/vmware.c
to support newer vmware versions.
The last time I used vmware worked fine, but it was 4.5.

or you could use qemu instead.

Under vmware:
during installation the graphic mode works ok,
when i use live cd graphic mode works but not ok,
when i have installed the plan9, rio doesn't start, and i have to work in 
the text mode shell.

Sometibe back there was a suggestion to switch off hardware accel
in vga device and start rio, do not remember the details, search
old posts..

Rookie error in rio. In /sys/src/cmd/rio/wind.c,
change the line
			memmove(hidden+i, hidden+i+1, nhidden-i);
to
			memmove(hidden+i, hidden+i+1, (nhidden-i)*sizeof(hidden[0]));
and a stupid bug will vanish.  Astonishing it's lived
this long.

Stupid bug introduced in rio, caused by our attempts to clean up
uses of %.*s.  /sys/src/cmd/rio/xfid.c:508 is missing an argument.
diff /n/dump/2000/0730/sys/src/cmd/rio/xfid.c xfid.c
508c508
< 			sprint(p, "%s/%.*s", w->dir, utfnlen(x->data, cnt));

The distributed binary is OK, but if you build from the unfixed
source all hell will break loose.

Mea culpa.  The compiler warns you and in all the furious building
I missed the warning.
