I realize this is the wrong group, but I need *real* Adobe AFM files
for the standard 35 typefaces, and the Adobe file server doesn't seem
to be awake anymore.  Can anyone tar/compress then and put them up
for FTP?  (I was really astounded to find out you don't get the AFM
files when you buy a laser printer---I got *five* floppies in various
formats with various things on them, but not a single AFM file!)

(The PS-generated AFM files won't work because I need full kerning and
ligature information as well.)
