  I'm not sure if these exist, I fdon't even know if they are possible, but
I figure this would be the best place to ask.  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.
