][ Is there a method for generating a font list with sample text for the

Well this is what I did. Open a document with your wordprocessor
(Word, WriteNow, MacWrite) and type the famous '...lazy fox...' line
with different fonts, and print it out.
As for LaserWriter NTX, a friend of mine has the fonts in a file,
(I don't know where he got them, I don't have them),
so all he did was installed the fonts in his system folder, and
did what I did. Does this help ?
