	Here is a postscript routine to print all the font
	names in your printer.  Just send it directly to your
	printer.

--------------------------- cut here ---------------------------
%!
%% Get all font names in the printer and print them out.

/Helvetica findfont 10 scalefont setfont
/fontname 30 string def
50 750 translate
FontDirectory  {0 0 moveto pop
		fontname cvs show
		0 -10 translate} forall
showpage
--------------------------- cut here -----------------------------

	This of course assumes that your printer has the
	font Helvetica, which all postscript printers I know
	of have.  It also assumes that the font names are
	less than thirty characters in length.  Good Luck...
