The printer font file name "pieces" are stored after the width tables in the
FOND.  You should find the main name (e.g. "__Helvetica"), and some optional
suffixes (e.g. "-", "bold").  The table just before the name bits tells how
to use the style to put together the name and a suitable set of suffixes to
get the real font name.
