PHOTOTYPESETTING EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES > datamuseum.dk, p 647 I was not previously certain where the PWB release fit into the troff timeline. Based on comparison to the v6 manual last updated in September 1974 and published in 1975, this manual revised in October 1976 and published in 1977 now integrates troff-specific content like the special fonts you mentioned under new title of "NROFF/TROFF User's Manual." The major change in the meantime was the rewrite of troff into C.[1] 1. Apparently from 1975-76 as noted in the 1992 revision of the manual and shown in the PWB 1.0 croff source code below: https://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Distributions/USDL/spencer_pwb.tar.gz Best, Dan
