Well I thought someone would have posted this by now but since no one has here are the PostScript names for the LaserWriter and LaserWriter Plus fonts. I have also given the font number for each font. I got this information from the LaserWriter plus update which was posted many months ago in INFO-POSTSCRIPT. 0 Courier 18 Bookman-DemiItalic 1 Courier-Bold 19 Bookman-Light 2 Courier-Oblique 20 Bookman-LightItalic 3 Courier-BoldOblique 21 Helvetica-Narrow 4 Times-Roman 22 Helvetica-Narrow-Bold 5 Times-Bold 23 Helvetica-Narrow-BoldOblique 6 Times-Italic 24 Helvetica-Narrow-Oblique 7 Times-BoldItalic 25 NewCenturySchlbk-Roman 8 Helvetica 26 NewCenturySchlbk-Bold 9 Helvetica-Bold 27 NewCenturySchlbk-Italic 10 Helvetica-Oblique 28 NewCenturySchlbk-BoldItalic 11 Helvetica-BoldOblique 29 Palatino-Roman 12 Symbol 30 Palatino-Bold 13 AvantGarde-Book 31 Palatino-Italic 14 AvantGarde-BookOblique 32 Palatino-BoldItalic 15 AvantGarde-Demi 33 ZapfChancery-MediumItalic 16 AvantGarde-DemiOblique 34 ZapfDingbats 17 Bookman-Demi Incidentally I wish that Apple had put Optima or Trump in the LaserWriter Plus rather than Helvetica Narrow since it is fairly easy to create a Helvetica narrow type font by consdensing Helvetica in PostScript. The differences between a true cut of Helvetica Narrow and one produced by condensing Helvetica are minimal on something with as low resolution as the LaserWriter. Sigh, what might have been ...
