Those *are* all the fonts your printer knows about.  The names above refer
to "font families", not typefaces.  Font families are collections of
typefaces, e.g. the Times family contains Times-Roman, Times-Bold,
Times-Italic, and Times-BoldItalic.

Have you tried to use a font on your printer with ptroff and been
unsuccessful?
