ATFONTLIST(1)  —  NEWS-OS Programmer’s Manual

NAME

atfontlist − obtains a list of fonts supported by PostScript printer

SYNOPSIS

atfontlist [object[:type[@zone]]]

DESCRIPTION

atfontlist uses the AppleTalk PAP (Printer Access Protocol) to communicate with PostScript printers connected to an AppleTalk network and produces standard output of a list of fonts supported by this printer. 

Printer can be specified from the command line using printer name obtained using atlookup or a similar tool.  If the type name (type) is omitted, the type is assumed to be LaserWriter.  If the character “∗” is specified as the zone, atfontlist assumes the current zone.  In addition, printer name is specified by the envirnment variable ATPRINTER.  % atfontlist ’my_printer:LaserWriter@∗’>my_printer_font In the above example, a list of fonts supported by the specified printer, “my_printer:LaserWriter@∗”, is generated and stored as the file “my_printer_font”.

Font list files generated by atfontlist can be used as font list files specified by apsd, etc.
