groff's font mechanism has been extended to use font families.  For
example, the name of the Times Roman family is `T', thus the fonts are
TR, TB, TI, and TBI.  To make your example work with groff, you have
to install an alias

  .ftr R TR

before using .fp

Please read the man page of troff(1) or get the latest groff snapshot
from

  ftp://ftp.ffii.org/pub/groff/devel/groff-current.tar.gz

and read the groff.texinfo file for better documentation.
