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.

[DISCLAIMER - I work for the company that makes the font programs.]
