If you are using a Mac setup or have access to one, a program called
LaserStatus from the same company that makes DiskTop will provide you
with an on-line list of accessible fonts.
Otherwise:
The L+ and LW NT(X) has:
Times(R,B,I,BI), Helvetica(R,B,O,BO), Courier and Symbol
New Century Schoolbook(R,B,I,BI)
Palatino(R,B,I,BI)
Avant Garde (R,O,B,BO)
Zapf Chancery (Medium)
Zapf Dingbats(R,I)
Bookman (R,B,I,BI)
Helvetica Narrow (R,B,O,BO)
(*R=Roman, I=Italic, O=Oblique, B=Bold)
One LW+ I have used also had the font Seattle built in, although I
don't know why.
