The following fonts are likely to be present in nearly all PostScript
implementations:

	Times-Roman
	Times-Italic
	Times-Bold
	Times-BoldItalic
	Helvetica
	Helvetica-Oblique
	Helvetica-Bold
	Helvetica-BoldOblique
	Courier
	Courier-Oblique
	Courier-Bold
	Courier-BoldOblique
	Symbol

PostScript files generated for distribution typically limit themselves
to these fonts to avoid having to embed fonts.
