Not sure of the problems you are having -- our version of troff certainly
allows .fp in the source (and in fact, vtroff simply prepends the appropriate
.fp lines in the troff pipeline.) One possibility is that you've taken the
"nx" in ".fp 2 nx" literally -- the "x" must be replaced by the typestyle --
"nr" for nonie roman, "ni" for nonie italic, "nb" for nonie bold. As well,
you need to have the appropriate .railmag file when printing the result
of your troff.
