Here is a postscript routine to print all the font
names in your printer. Just send it directly to your
printer.
--------------------------- cut here ---------------------------
%!
%% Get all font names in the printer and print them out.
/Helvetica findfont 10 scalefont setfont
/fontname 30 string def
50 750 translate
FontDirectory {0 0 moveto pop
fontname cvs show
0 -10 translate} forall
showpage
--------------------------- cut here -----------------------------
This of course assumes that your printer has the
font Helvetica, which all postscript printers I know
of have. It also assumes that the font names are
less than thirty characters in length. Good Luck...
