So, then, why aren't they made available?  When I buy a PostScript laser
printer, I don't get AFM files for the fonts.  I can get them from the
Adobe file server, but that doesn't help Joe Consumer.  And Adobe has
never responded to any requests for permission to distribute the things
with any software packages I am aware of.  What good are they if you can't
get them?  (This is one of my major gripes with Adobe . . .)
