Different PostScript devices often come with a different set of basic fonts. The NeXT comes with the basic 13 that we all know and love (Four Times faces, four Helvetica faces, four Courier, and Symbol). To fill out the basic 35 (which includes ZapfChancery-MediumItalic and the NewCenturySchoolbook faces) you can get the Adobe PlusPack. I think it's sold through RightBrain in a NeXT-native format. Otherwise, I think Adobe has it in NeXT native format. Otherwise, there's the PC PlusPack and you can use pfb2pfa to convert.
