I have a related question.  What are the font names for all of these in
Postscript?  I can't find that information anywhere (the adobe books, the
laserwriter manual, the manhattan phone book...).  If I want to use Zapf
Chancery in a Postscript program, I need to be able to define the font, but
there seems to be no documentation on what it is.  Of course, I could just
snarf a Postscript program from something like Word output, but the
documentation should really sve me this hassle...
