My problem:

At our site are many megabytes of papers (including hand-generated
indexes and tables of contents) which were produced using the AM
(Almost Modern) fonts.  These files need to be maintained (in case new
copies are to be produced for republication, e.g.)  The idea of
reformating them (and regenerating the indexes and other references)
nauseates me.

And the am fonts, of course, are not "supported" any more.  I am
gradually shifting my site over to cm, which will take care of future
problems, but, in the meantime, I need to support AM.  The current
means by which I maintain backwards compatibility is to use an
out-of-date distribution maintained on another system working through
a printer which will probably soon fail.  I would like to get ahold of
a description of the AM fonts in either gf or pk---or, best of all,
mf---format, so that I can at the very least not need the broken
printer.

Does anybody still have a copy I could get?
