Plan9port comes with a different set of Postscript fonts
than Plan 9 does.  If your man page is trying to use the
Plan 9 fonts, it may not be able to find them.

See $PLAN9/man/fonts for incantations (case luxi and
case dejavu) that should be viewable with a stock plan9port.
Since 9 man adds these automatically, you will have to
put them at the top of your file for autoroff to work out.

The corresponding fonts are in subdirectories of
$PLAN9/postscript/font.
