I forgot to say that in the beginning of my document I have this

.fam BA
.fspecial KR
.fspecial KI

This does not seem to help, very much. The Kerkis font is read, and 
included in the postscript, which states the following

        %!PS-Adobe-3.0
        %%Creator: groff version 1.19.3
        %%CreationDate: Sun May 20 10:50:04 2007
        %%DocumentNeededResources: font Symbol
        %%DocumentSuppliedResources: procset grops 1.19 3
        %%+ font Kerkis
        %%+ font Berling-Roman
        %%+ font Berling-Italic
        %%+ font Berling-Bold
        %%+ font Symbol-Slanted


Berling is the only commercial font I've got :-) I bought it for nostalgic 
reasons, it was made in a foundry situated here in Lund, Sweden, where I 
live.
