i was kinda curious too. i saw in one of the books that there were scads of
font types so i came up with a quick and dirty sampler. (mind you it's
just that. it doesn't even print out straight. but since all you want to 
look at is the fonts themselves, who cares, right? :] ) if anyone knows of
any more fonts besides these, please let me know.
