No. What I remember, there was first roff written in assembler. It was then rewrittn into C (but now with real macro capabilities. roff has a lt build in), Typesetter C appeared in Edition 6.1 (of 6.2) since the n/troff code demanded a lot from the C-compiler. To make it possible to run it on a pdp11 there was the hack turning data into test (for the hyphenation tables). Ditroff was done by bwk to be devie independent.
