this doesn't work for me either on p9p, but it does work under
plan 9. it's a font problem.
after a little experimenting, prepending /sys/doc/docfonts to the ps
before running psfonts helps — at least the bold and title lines are
properly set.
i suspect that there is some sort of font name snafu between p9p and
plan 9. russ?

p.s.
i'm not sure why you're including mpictures. i use the guess-o-matic
way of processing troff/pic/eqn/etc.
eval 9 `{doctype macros.ms generic.ms}
