   I should mention that with the installation disks that come with the LW IInt,
there is an application (the name of which escapes me) which allows you to
see the names of all the fonts in the printer, as well as print out the list,
along with a sample of each.  This may be want you need.  A warning that 
whether you use the Mac application or the Postscript code, they take a fair
amount of time to run (the Mac version requires a good 10 minutes of
processing time on the LW to print out).
