I have been using vtroff with a versatec-80 printer.
Currently, I can change between fonts by specifically mounting
the font on the command line, e.g,

	vtroff -ms -2 nonie textfile

There is documentation suggesting that the  troff command

.fp 2 nx

will also mount the new font, but this does not work.  Is
there a patch to troff that will permit th changing of fonts
within the file rather than only in the command line?

Please mail me your suggestions.
