Hi Emilio!  I don't think there is a graphical table.  I always looked at
the Printer Device Programming manual.  In the past, the CL Reference had a
list in the appendix under the FONT keyword.  I have a template program that
I keep around to generate a graphic list of fonts:

1'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
 FONT(221)                   
 SPACEA(1)                   
1'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
 FONT(221)                   
 SPACEA(1)                   
1'1234567890'                
 FONT(221)                   
 SPACEA(1)                   
4'Prestige 15 (221)'         
 SPACEA(1)                   

Compile as DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) and print it out.  In my experience, each printer
is slightly different...
