Well I thought someone would have posted this by now but since no one has here
are the PostScript names for the LaserWriter and LaserWriter Plus fonts. I have
also given the font number for each font. I got this information from the
LaserWriter plus update which was posted many months ago in INFO-POSTSCRIPT.

0	Courier			18	Bookman-DemiItalic
1	Courier-Bold		19	Bookman-Light
2	Courier-Oblique		20	Bookman-LightItalic
3	Courier-BoldOblique	21	Helvetica-Narrow
4	Times-Roman		22	Helvetica-Narrow-Bold
5	Times-Bold		23	Helvetica-Narrow-BoldOblique
6	Times-Italic		24	Helvetica-Narrow-Oblique
7	Times-BoldItalic	25	NewCenturySchlbk-Roman
8	Helvetica		26	NewCenturySchlbk-Bold
9	Helvetica-Bold		27	NewCenturySchlbk-Italic
10	Helvetica-Oblique	28	NewCenturySchlbk-BoldItalic
11	Helvetica-BoldOblique	29	Palatino-Roman
12	Symbol			30	Palatino-Bold
13	AvantGarde-Book		31	Palatino-Italic
14	AvantGarde-BookOblique	32	Palatino-BoldItalic
15	AvantGarde-Demi		33	ZapfChancery-MediumItalic
16	AvantGarde-DemiOblique	34	ZapfDingbats
17	Bookman-Demi

Incidentally I wish that Apple had put Optima or Trump in the LaserWriter Plus
rather than Helvetica Narrow since it is fairly easy to create a Helvetica
narrow type font by consdensing Helvetica in PostScript. The differences between
a true cut of Helvetica Narrow and one produced by condensing Helvetica are
minimal on something with as low resolution as the LaserWriter. Sigh, what might
have been ...
