We are using Adobe's Transcript package for our Sun running SunOS 3.2
with an Apple Laserwriter.  We use troff (not ditroff).  I do not know 
how close Sun's package is to Transcript.  I will describe what I did to 
use Courier in the hopes that it can guide you (and others).

In the directory /usr/lib/ps/troff.font there is a file called Helvetica.map
that lists the Helvetica font to troff character mapping.  Copy this to
Courier.map and change all the Helvetica references to Courier.
(There is a context diff for the two files appended to this message.)

Then type "make FAMILIES=Courier" and you should be done.  This will
create the files Courier.ct, Courier.head, ftC, ftCI, and ftCB.

Good Luck!
