They all look like this:
{code}
/FontType 1 def
/FontInfo 10 dict def
/FontMatrix [0.001 0 0 0.001 0 0] def
/FontBBox [-176 -214 1124 1036] def
/PaintType 0 def
/Encoding 256 array
0 1 255 {1 index exch /.notdef put} for
{code}
After "dict" we expect "begin" or "dup begin".

I looked into the PostScript reference, it has one example with {{/mydict 5 
dict def}}. I suspect that this defines an empty dictionary. (Update: I asked 
ChatGPT and it agrees 😂

)

This is how it usually looks in type1 fonts:
{code}
/FontInfo 9 dict dup begin
 /version (Version 2.33) readonly def
 /Notice (Copyright [c] 2003 by Bitstream, Inc. All Rights Reserved.) readonly 
def
 /FullName (DejaVu Serif Condensed) readonly def
 /FamilyName (DejaVu Serif Condensed) readonly def
 /Weight (Book) readonly def
 /ItalicAngle 0 def
 /isFixedPitch false def
 /UnderlinePosition -63 def
 /UnderlineThickness 44 def
end readonly def
{code}
