How to use the printer built-in fonts

[DiederikH]

So I would like to use some of the nice built-in printer fonts (say... "Eurostile Extended N° 2"). But how am I supposed to use them? They do not appear in font lists in software such as MS Write, MS Word, LaTeX, LibreOffice, ...

The closest I got is that there is a font metrics file for the default (obligated) postscript-fonts (called PSNFSS), for use with LaTeX, but this only defines 35 fonts out of the large font repository that my fancy Phaser 6510 has. And that doesn't solve the issue for all other software.

The fonts that are in printers can sometimes be useful and difficult to use in application program code. This article describes how to determine which printer-resident device fonts are available for use in a Win32 printer device context. The article also describes several problems that can happen when you try to use those printer fonts in application code.
