I have made a couple of attempts to preview ditroff output using
the tc filter.  That is, I have gotten onto a Tek 4014 emulator
and executed

	troff -TIMAGEN file | tc

The result is pretty bad.  Characters are squished together and
the output is only (slightly) useful for debugging.

I have tried this both on a Graphon GO235 and an xterm window
emulating a 4014, with the same results.

Do I need a different set of fonts?  If so, which set?  The documentation
for tc is pretty lousy.
