Are they are PD files available which when printed out on a Postscript laserprinter, will give you a real sample of that font. Something sort of like what the Print Font Sample option in the Apple Font Utility program does, but maybe also with a couple of different sizes, with bold, italic, outline, etc. I have a form that I am trying to reproduce on a Mac, and I would like to be able to matchup a font on it to it's actual font name. I know that companies sell catalogs with font samples, but I don't want to pay any money (I'd like to find the exact font, but it isn't worth spending money on). I thought about it for a little while, and realzed that it may be difficult to provide a font sample document without actually providing the font itself, but I still thought I would ask anyway.
