Does anyone have a list of fonts available for TeX that are generated by
Metafont.

We have the fonts from the TeX distribution tape but we are looking to
add some others for special purposes (eg Helvetica for banner text).

We have tried using Bitstream fonts and converting them into tfm/pk
compatible images but they are missing many of the useful characters
(also the inter-character spacing appeared to be wrong).

I will (as they say) summarize all replies.
