  Use the string 'mC', defined in groff's an-ext.tmac file


.\" register .g is defined to be 1 for heirloom-doc (and groff)
.if t \{\
.  ie \n(.g \{\
.    ds mC CR
.\"  tm constant width font used is \*(mC
.\"     String mC is \*(mC
.  \}
.  el \{\
.    if !'\*(mC'' \{\
.      tm String "mC" already defined to be \*(mC
.      tm Is redefined to be CW
.    \}
.    ds mC CW
.\".  tm constant width font used is \*(mC
.  \}
.\}

  then use "\ef(\*(mC" to change the font, for example
\f(\*(mCString in constant width\fP


  Such a definition is then added after the '.TH' macro call.

  Testet with groff and heirloom-doc only.
