Older system versions had a relatively small selection of built-in fonts.
firing up the emulators again 
System 6 and older had Chicago, Courier, Geneva, Helvetica, Monaco, Palatino, and Times. Many early Macintosh diskettes (like the one with MacWrite) included a font file that contained a few sizes of Cairo, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Toronto, and one large version of New York (whoops… I forgot to copy this one over for the screenshot).
System 7 added New York and Symbol, but otherwise the list remained the same.
Sometime between System 7 and Mac OS 9, several more fonts including Zapf Chancery were added, probably when 8 or 8.5 were released. Here's what it looks like on Mac OS 9.
