You specify fonts like zo in SVR2 ditroff:

	\fHthis is Helvetica\fP and this is what we were Previously.

\f followed by a font name makes the change for single letter font names,
\f( is used for two-char names.  \fP returns you to the previous font.

You can also use font numbers if you know them, or load them.  For example,
1 is usually Roman, 2 is Italic, and 3 is Bold.  So, you could do this:

\f1this is in roman,\f2 this is in italic, \f3and this is in bold\f1

Hope this helps.
