How to include the current font name in the document
Using plain TeX coding, how to I include the current font name in the document? I know it involves thefont but can't recall the exact method.
This is for use in a font-sampler, so that before each font sample, an appropriate title appears identifying that font.

You can use fontnamefont to output the current font name in your document:
defsamplefont#1{%
% set font style and save name
#1edefsavedname{fontnamefont}%
% print small sample
{leavevmodetthbox to 1in{savedname:hss}}%
abcxyz ABCXYZ 123par
}

For the external name of the current font, use fontnamefont (current font) or fontnametenrm (or whatever font selection command you want to use):

From the TeXbook (p. 214)
the⟨font⟩ produces a font identifier that selects the
specified font. For example, ‘thefont’ is a control sequence corresponding
to the current font.
This is most useful only in edef, to get an alias command for the current font:
{itxdefthisfont{thefont}abc}
{thisfont abc}
will produce the same result.
For the external name of the current font, use fontnamefont (current font) or fontnametenrm (or whatever font selection command you want to use):
