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.
