Type 1 fonts (not usually called Postscript fonts any more) for 
Windows usually have two parts; a .pfm file and a .pfb file.

No Type 1 fonts come with Windows.  Your Courier and Times New Roman 
are probably Truetype fonts. I've never heard of "Hershey".

If you haven't actually installed any Type 1 fonts, then the only ones 
on your system would be those installed with some Adobe products.

Almost any text program, including notepad, will give you a list of 
installed fonts. Just open notepad, click on format/font... and you'll 
see a dropdown list of all installed fonts. Type 1 fonts will be 
identified with a red script "a", and Truetypes with a "TT" icon.
