	I have a bunch of Microsoft Word files which you can print to get
sample pages for the various LaserWriter-Plus fonts.  Each sample page has
a complete alphabet in 12 point for the 4 basic styles (Normal, Italic,
Bold, BoldItalic), sample lines in 6-24 point, and a sample paragraph of
random text.  Typographers will probably be horrified when they see
"Helvetica-Italic" mentioned instead of "Helvetica-Oblique", but that's
their problem.

	If people think it's worth it, I could bundle them all up and post
them to one of the mac binary groups.
