Does xroff use it's own version of troff?

Transcript calls troff and post-processes the output.  The basic troff has
only four fonts, positions one through four.  There are further limits in
that troff "knows" about some of the character slots in font position
four, so if someone told you "ptroff" only supports three font positions,
they wouldn't be off the mark.

Transcript and ptroff only support three font positions. :-)
