+<p>Special fonts are those that <code class="code">gtroff</code> searches when it cannot find
+the requested glyph in the current font. The Symbol font is usually a
+special font.
+</p>
+<p><code class="code">gtroff</code> provides the following two requests to add more special
+fonts. See <a class="xref" href="Using-Symbols.html">Using Symbols</a>, for a detailed description of the glyph
+searching mechanism in <code class="code">gtroff</code>.
+</p>
+<p>Usually, only non-TTY devices have special fonts.
