Our new LaserWriter II NTX just arrived and I'm trying to get fonts tables
built for our device independent troff driver. The only problem is that I
don't know the names of these fonts (the PostScript names). The manual only
gives the names in their long, multi-word, english form. I need them as
PostScript knows them. I guess the manual assumes that you're using the Mac
for all your work and you'll just use the software they give you.
Also, is there somewhere I can get the official Adobe specs for these fonts?
Mostly all I need is the character widths. I've heard of a PostScript program
that would print this info from inside your printer. Does anyone have a copy
of this they could send me? Thanks for any help.
