Yes and no, depending on what you want the output to look like.
I was just trying to demonstrate that the macro also works in

Sorry, that's my personal setup.  I can interpret "CB" to mean
"computer bold", and substitute some other typewriter font such
as Letter Gothic for Courier, and still refer to it as "CB".
(Usually, however, I refer to fonts by number, as in ".ft 1".)
