Thanks to everyone who answered my question on laserwriter postscript
font names. For the benefit of everyone else (I got a number of requests
for this) here is a list of the names, and also two Postscript
fragments to help you get them out of your LW.
[side note: now that programs like RSG3 and Word 3.0 have postscript
windows, why don't we all start sharing our favorite Postscript programs?
It's a whole new programming language in there, folks!]

Of course, if you're bored you can always regenerate the list of names by:
FontDirectory
{pop ==} forall
It's only slightly more difficult to print the list on real, live paper:
%!
% print out all the font names in the font directory
