The font mount table takes up a fair amount of space, so on the
286, it is likely that Microport lowered the font mount table
to say 10.  Not an inherent limitation of DWB, though.
Note... Watch out you don't stomp on the Special font (s).  Try...

		troff -Tzzz < /dev/null

where zzz is your printer type, and it will print the mounted fonts.
Don't mount on position S or troff won't work.
