Re: Anders Ulfheden's PostScript program that prints the fonts available
    on a printer

It's a very nice program, but will it find fonts on a hard disk, like on
a Varityper VT-600 or Agfa/Compugraphic CG-400PS?  I tried running an
older version on a VT-600, and it only found ten fonts--not counting the
tens of fonts on the hard disk.

I believe the new book "Real-World PostScript" mentions an alternative
means of searching for fonts.  It involves looking for filesystems as
well as <the place fonts are usually stored>.
