Hi,

I am trying to correct the ps.map help page to list available 
PostScript fonts. Currently it indicates the that standard GRASS display
fonts should be used, which is incorrect. (romans, gothgbt, etc)

Is there a canonical list of minimum supported PS fonts? I found these
but something official would be nice.

http://www.tug.org/fontname/html/Standard-PostScript-fonts.html
http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/manuals/alscript.1.4.5/subsection3_14_3.html

Are the minimum set standard (Type1)? Is there a C lib fn to list all
available? Is it printer specific?


thanks,
Hamish
