troff does not care about fonts; it only cares about how wide each character
is.
/n/sources/contrib/btdn/lib/cm/ will install the width tables for the Computer
Modern fonts (hopefully). For everything else, you have to teach GhostScript
(or your local PostScript printer) about it first, but once you have done that
the process should be fairly straight forward. Ask if you have any questions.
Though not answering your question, there is a "Fonts" page on the wiki.
