[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Laserwriter II idlefonts

I want to set up my Laserwriter II NT to generate bitmaps of the fonts
I actually use (rather than the ones it thinks I'm going to use) while
it isn't doing anything else.  I believe the PostScript command to get
this done is 'setidlefonts'.  The PS reference manual talks about this
command but gives the font numbers only for Times, Courier, Helvetica
and Symbol (the original laserwriter fonts).  I use Palatino and Avant 
Garde.  Can anyone tell me the appropriate font numbers? (They don't
correspond with the Mac's internal font numbers, by the way).

Thanks
