But nevertheless, thanks for your explanation!  As you explain, .B and
\fB aren't the same thing.

Also, by troff convention, the 'bold' font is whatever font is mounted at font 
position 3. ('Roman' lives at position 1, and 'italic' at position 2).  So if 
you want to be pedantic, in raw troff you embolden text using \f3bold\fP, and 
not \fBbold\fP.

You did want to know this stuff, right?
