This must be in the -mm macros; it doesn't appear in -ms.

The easiest way to deal with this is probably to replace the FG  
macro; in -mm it's a one-liner. Add this to the beginning of your  
document:

        .ds Ff HB\" The font you want to use for printing the figure title
        .de FG
	address@hidden fg Lf \\n+[lix*fg-nr] "\\f[\\*[Ff]\\$1\\fP" "\\$2" "\ 
\$3" "\\$4"
        ..

If you don't like Helvetica Bold, you can replace the Ff string with  
another font name.

You can also use the locale file to include modifications you want to  
apply to all your -mm documents. The default location is /usr/share/ 
groff/@VERSION@/tmac/mm/locale, where @VERSION@ is the version you're  
using.

Hope that helps,
