No, it's not legal to repost them.
If you don't want to spend the $12.50/hour to download them, they are also
available on GENie in the Letraset Roundtable. I don't believe the Letraset
folks have the .AFM files, but I could be wrong.
If you have a laserwriter or laserwriter+, you really want to get the Adobe
versions of the bitmaps. They are SIGNIFICANTLY better than the ones shipped
by Apple. And if you're using a program that reads .AFM files (Freehand and
FullWrite are two I know of, offhand) you want those, too.
It's an inexpensive way to really make your stuff (and your screen, while
you're working on it) look better. I was amazed how much difference there
was when I upgraded.
