Using the FontDirectory alone is a BAD way to determine what
fonts are available to your system. As far as I am concerned,
the proper way to do a font query that works for level 1 and 2
printers is something like ... <program that doesn't use
resources deleted>"
The *right* way to find all fonts on a level 2 printer is with
/Font resourceforall
... just in case there's a font available that's not in VM and not stored
on an attached disk.
