Here is the short program which lists the resident fonts of a LaserWriterPlus:

*********************** Cut here **********
/inch
{ 72 mul }
def

/ypos 11 inch def

FontDirectory
{
 pop
 1 inch ypos moveto
 dup
 100 string cvs
/Times-Roman findfont 10 scalefont setfont
 dup
 print
 show
 findfont 10 scalefont setfont
 3 inch ypos moveto
 (ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz) show
 /ypos ypos 0.2 inch sub def
 }
 forall
showpage

*********************** Cut here **********
It takes a longer time to print this because the Alphabet is displayed in all
fonts. Don't worry about this.
If you don't want this, you can delete the lines findfont 10 scalefont setfont
and the two following lines.

I hope this will work and help you.
