I'm sure this has been asked before, but could someone tell me where in a FONT or FOND resource the printer font file name is stored? I can't seem to find it.

The printer font file name "pieces" are stored after the width tables in the FOND. You should find the main name (e.g. "__Helvetica"), and some optional suffixes (e.g. "-", "bold"). The table just before the name bits tells how to use the style to put together the name and a suitable set of suffixes to get the real font name. Marc Kaufman (kaufman@Neon.stanford.edu)

The FOND resources containes the PostScript /findfont name of a font. From this the name of the downloadable font file is constructed. Five letters from the beginning of the name, three from any subsequent portion of the name.

It is in some fields near the end of the FOND resource, but the fields are not documented in Inside Macintosh. Instead, IM gives reference to Inside Laser- Writer. Fiendish, eh?
