 |The best solution for adding new font families is to use
 |Mittelbach and Schoepf's new font selection scheme (see TUGboat
 |11#1 pp.91--7). This will be available from the
 |ymir.claremont.edu archive in the near future.
 |

I have the new font selection scheme available. FTP from sol.cs.ruu.nl
[131.211.80.5], file pub/TEX/latexstyle/fontsel.zoo.
Or ask from mail-server@cs.ruu.nl by sending the message:

send TEX/latexstyle/fontsel.zoo
end

(send a HELP message first if this is your first access)

In the same directory I have style files to use postscript fonts. I have
updated these to work both with the old LaTeX font selection scheme as well
as the new one.
The style files are:  times.sty times+m.sty palatino.sty bookman.sty ncs.sty
psfonts.sty psmath.sty (these two are the work horses, the others just give
parameters to these).
