[TUHS] troff was not so widely usable

[Nelson H. F. Beebe]

Recent discussions on this list are about the problem getting fonts
for typesetting before there was an industry to provide them.  Noted
font designer Chuck Bigelow has written about the subject here:

	Notes on typeface protection
	TUGboat 7(3) 146--151 October 1986
	https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb07-3/tb16bigelow.pdf

Other TUGboat papers by him and his design partner, Kris Holmes, might
be of reader interest:
