It must be purchased pre-printed (printing your own is a violation of US
and international copyright law, so don't do it). If your campus bookstore
doesn't have it, yell at them, then think about ordering a copy from the
TeX Users Group:
   P.O. Box 9506
   Providence, RI 02940-9506
   401-751-7760
   internet: tug@math.ams.com
(best to try e-mail first, I'm doing this from memory, and nobody's
said anything that required posting the address and phone number for 
a while).

You'll probably want to join TUG while you're at it. TUGboat, their journal
is a highly useful resource. It's $35 for most people in the US, $25 for
students. Outside N. America, rates are somewhat higher.

PK files are resolution-dependent so unless your Gemini has a resolution
of 300x300, the fonts won't even come close to being useful. Jon Radel
has many wonderful Public Domain TeX things for the PC, including a 
version or two of MF, pre-generated PK files, previewers, and printer
drivers. Here is his address:
