I tried
echo 'abc\fBdef\fIghi' |
troff -TX75 |
sed -e '1s/ X75$/ ascii/' \
-e '2s/ 75 1 1$/ 240 24 40/' \
-e 's/\(x font [0-9][0-9]* \)T\([RBI]\)/\1\2/' |
grotty
but that fails because a vertical motion intended for -TX75 isn't
suitable for -Tascii.
You can either keep playing along these lines, or write something to
`grok' ditroff, see groff_out(5).
Maybe there's something obvious I'm missing...
Cheers,
Ralph.
