Leon,
Sure, I`d like to see the fonts that Xerox built into their printer,
just to see if anyone is including in the printer`s firmware more PCL
and PostScript fonts than they used to.
{FWIW, on HP printers you can print a hardcopy of those font listings
from the menu on the printer`s own display panel, but I don`t know about
your Xerox}.
The font ids and Esc sequences you mentioned will pertain just to the
PCL fonts, and not the PostScript fonts. I use the PCL fonts when
printing from 8-bit programs like AppleWorks. I use the PostScript fonts
when printing from GS/OS desktop programs (and even from 8-bit
PublishIt!4 although it`s been a while).
PCL fonts are selected by a unique attribute sequence or by font ID.
PostScript fonts (from within a PostScript job) will be selected by
name. Within AppleWorks, for example, I`ll either specify those
sequences by using the CPI settings (or Proportional font selection) or
I just embed an escape character using AppleWorks `special code` feature
and then complete the sequence. That can get tricky if you also are
using CPI sequences, but you eventually figure out what needs to be done
to get the result you want.
The email address -- I think your news client will show this if you
hover the mouse over my name, but just in case it doesn`t it is my name
(first and last without punctuation) at earthlink DOT net.

not think of it, ah, for a few years as the install CD does not run
as the version of OS X I am running is 64 bit and the CD is not.

you can help me understand some of the information on the sheets as it
