Actually, Bitstream didn't provide the TFM and PXL/PK files. They sell only
their own proprietary format, BCO ("Bitstream Compressed Outline") (which I
believe is now obsolete). Personal TeX sell a PC program that will convert
BCO files into PKs and TFMs.
This is actually what you want, unless you're prepared to limit yourself to
a fixed small number of type sizes.
