I need these for an >in-house plotting application, so I need the actual data, and I need to >know the encoding of it. Try URW in Hamburg, West Germany. This is one of their main businesses.

They also have an outline type production group that uses the Ikarus system to produce typeface data. They have a very large library, including all ITC faces. - Dan
