After receiving my Apple LaserWriter IINTX, I was wondered about the fact
that Apple didn't include the names to be used in PostScript of all the
35 fonts (e.g. Courier-Bold).

So, I wrote a small PostScript program, that returns all font names on
its output (not on paper!):

	FontDirectory { /FontName get == } forall

Maybe this program might also be interesting for others, dealing with
the same lack of information in the printer documentation.
