[comp.lang.postscript] Getting fontlist from Macintosh system folder

kaz@nanovx.UUCP (Mike Kazmierczak) (10/20/89)

Is there a method for generating a font list with sample text for the     
following combination.  Macintosh SE, LaserWriter NTX.  I know there are
postscript programs to print out a printer-resident fontlist, but I have
a collection of fonts stored in the ols system folder that I'd like to
see as well.  Any postscript method for forcing a printer file to be
downloaded to the printer or an application that does this would be most
helpful.  Thanks to all in advance

Well this is what I did. Open a document with your wordprocessor
(Word, WriteNow, MacWrite) and type the famous '...lazy fox...' line
with different fonts, and print it out.
As for LaserWriter NTX, a friend of mine has the fonts in a file,
(I don't know where he got them, I don't have them),
so all he did was installed the fonts in his system folder, and
did what I did. Does this help ?
