If you are using a Apple LaserWriter on a UNIX machine you are
probably using either the PSDIT driver (for ditroff), in which
case Doug's comments are correct, or using PSCAT with the old
troff.

To use PSCAT and Courier, you have to specify an alternate font
family of courier.  This is done with the -F options.  Best to
use the provided ptroff shell scripts to get all this right.
Note that you can't mix font families with the old troff.  A
further complication is that for some reason the Courier device
tables weren't generated in my distribution.  However, this is
easy to fix, and if you need to know, I will try to remember what
I did.
