Doesn't *someone* know the names/numbers of the LaserWriter II fonts?
I asked about them last week.
Zero replies.
I know they exist! Don't try'n fool me!!
Do I have to go through a secret initiation rite to find out?

The LaserWriter contains the following 4 font families:
Courier, Helvetica, Symbol and Times.
In addition the LaserWriter Plus contains the following 7 font families:
^^^^
Avant Garde, Bookman, Helvetica Narrow, New Century Schoolbook,
Palatino, Zapf Chancery and Zapf Dingbats.
I hope this helps. Marketing has slightly zingier names (e.g. with the
initials ITC inserted in some places). An Apple dealer would probably
have some glossy brochure with them in it.

I have a related question. What are the font names for all of these in Postscript? I can't find that information anywhere (the adobe books, the laserwriter manual, the manhattan phone book...). If I want to use Zapf Chancery in a Postscript program, I need to be able to define the font, but there seems to be no documentation on what it is. Of course, I could just snarf a Postscript program from something like Word output, but the documentation should really sve me this hassle... chuq Chuq Von Rospach chuq@sun.COM It's only a model...

The following bit of postscript will produce the desired response direct to the printer tray. (This should work on a LaserWriter, and does work on a LaserWriter Plus). /Courier findfont 10 scalefont setfont /x 50 def /y 700 def /nl { x /y y 14 sub def y moveto /Courier findfont 10 scalefont setfont } def /buf 80 string def 200 750 moveto statusdict /product get show ( rev. ) show statusdict /revision get buf cvs show ( Fonts ) show x y moveto FontDirectory { exch dup buf cvs show exch 230 y moveto ( ------ ) show /FontInfo get /FullName get buf cvs show findfont 10 scalefont setfont 500 y moveto (ABCDE) show nl } forall showpage
