TeX font question (from a novice user)

  I recently started playing with TeX, and tried to print out some things
on my Epson printer at home.  A short file worked fine (using dvieps), but
a large file had some problems, because I didn't have the right fonts.
I have a couple questions.  First, in general, how does one create the
*.pk fonts?  I don't really have any documentation on TeX here (that I
have found).  I presume they are compiled from the original Metafont
fonts into the pk files.  What programs do this?  And where can I get
the original font descriptions.  

  Second, and more specifically, I need the following font files:

	288/cmr17.pk	288/cmb10.pk	288/cmssbx10.pk
	288/cmu10.pk	288/cmtt10.pk	288/cmssi10.pk
	288/cmss10.pk	288/cmr17.pk

  If someone has these generated already, I would appreciate it if he/she
could mail them to me.  Otherwise, I would like information on how I can
create these font files.  Many thanks in advance...
