The above table is a bit-image of the fonts having symbolic constants
listed in Inside Mac and the sample is of that font.

both figures, then your system is fully configured to display all fonts
identfied by system- defined constants.

The system comes with a variety of other fonts, including all those having
defined constants (except possibly mobile), often in various sizes.
However, it is possible for a user to remove most fonts from the system
resource file -- removing fonts minimizes the disk space and memory
requirements of the system.
