It looks to me like the .tfm files are at least readable, 
but the .pk files are bad. Are you sure they were uploaded
in binary mode?

If these files are to be useable with my previewers dvivga and 
dvimswin, for the VGA/EGA/MCGA and Microsoft Windows respectively,
you will need, as a minimum, sizes (in dots per inch)
100, 121, and 145, though 92, 110, 132 , 158 and 174 would also be
nice, especially 92 and 110. There aren't many people with
displays big enough to view a page with 300 d.p.i. fonts!
(And if there are ANY such people out there, I would like to
hear from them. Such displays DO exist for PC's.)
