When picking up the latest batch of fixes for Xv10r4 from prang.berkeley.edu,
I noticed that berkeley/newfonts contained some of the Sun fonts in X font
format.  I've been using these as my default fonts, and find them much more
readable than many of the distributed X fonts.  However, there are a few
other (local) vfont-format fonts that I'd like to get into X.  

Would whoever did the conversion on prang care to make the vfont -> X font 
conversion program they used available to the rest of us?

While we're on the subject of fonts, has anyone else noticed that the
helvetica fonts (helv10, helv10b) in Xv10r4 aren't really helvetica at
all, but look more like times-roman italics?  Anyone got some REAL 10
point helvetica fonts?
