Jan, Dick, Mark, thanks!

Thanks so much guys for this.  One sees how easy it can be when you know how.  
I will hack away and try these.  And actually, they are a lot more terse than 
what I'm getting in awk.

Its sort of academic about 2.6.1 and linux printing now, since we are moving 
to 2.9, but it is really weird.  On my debian system, the printing doesn't 
work at all, and I only get a few of the fonts, but the ones that can be used 
look quite good in the sizes they can be used in, which is not all by any 
means.

On Mandriva 2006, there were more (but not all) fonts, and they all looked 
good in all sizes.  Don't know about printing.

These were both running gnome.

Now on Mandriva 2008, running KDE, we have all the installed fonts, which is 
good, but they look terrible!  Jagged or blurry.  And here unaccountably 
printing seems to work though without bringing up any print dialogues from 
the system.

What a relief it will be when 2.9 final hits!
