You can ftp pk format fonts from score.stanford.edu and then convert to
pxl with pktopx. Remember to use tenex mode. Other tex distributions
may have the fonts (uunet?), but they may be bundled into tar files
with the rest of the sources, etc.

|I'd like to know the procedure for creating these fonts;
|I would imagine it involves Metafont and some conversion
|program... can't find anything in the Metafontbook though.

This seems a commonly asked question, so I'll post my scripts. First, I
assume you have generated cmmf with all the macros and mode_defs
preloaded. These scripts will generate a shell script of commands to
make some 370 files in gf format, the convert to pk on the spot. It
makes the 16 basic fonts and some LaTeX in magsteps 0 through 5 and
half, and the others in 0, 0.5, 1 and 2. There wasn't a standard when I
decided this but it seems to agree with current practice. Also these
scripts are Unix specific, but you could do the same thing with even a
BASIC program.

When you make the fonts, you should have the mf sources for the cm and
latex fonts in the current directory. These sources are also on score.
Finally, get the fastest machine you can to generate the fonts.  On a
Sun 3/260, I left the scripts running overnight. Hence the two step
process---if the second script breaks halfway, fix the problem, edit
the script and start where you left off.
