"cip" in the DMD "text/graphics" host software package, also available
as "xcip" for the MTG/DMD from the AT&T UNIX System ToolChest, does this.
The "proof" (or "xproof") troff postprocessor for viewing on DMD/MTG is
included, along with a large number of font bitmap files.

I thought SunView was on the way out..
"cip" has probably been ported to X-Windows, but I don't know how you
would get hold of that version.
