take a look at your file content, this is not postscript, but ditroff 
intermediate output.

using DWB, the dpost filter should be added.

refer post.tm | pic | troff -ms | dpost | ps2pdf - post.pdf

using GROFF, groff should be used instead of troff.

refer post.tm | pic | groff -ms | ps2pdf - post.pdf

using DWB, the AT&T Bell Labs logo looks perfect ;^)

PS : DWB is here :

http://www2.research.att.com/~gsf/download/tgz/dwb.1993-02-04.tgz

to build DWB under cygwin, use this patch :

http://cyrillelefevre.free.fr/dwb/dwb.1993-02-04.2011-05-29.patch.bz2

also, DWBHOME should be exported to the installation path.
