you have an overactive imagination, I'm afraid. I know of no Metafont
source for Times-Roman and Helvetica, which are copyrighted font
names. If you have a PostScript or other printer which has licensed
the fonts from their owners, then you just need TFM files; in the case
of PostScript fonts, Adobe supply Adobe Font Metric files instead,
which are readily converted to TFM by utilities in at least 3 of the
dvi to PostScript packages.
