.gsf *IS* Type 1 format.  There is no standard file suffix for Type
1.  Some systems use .ps, some use .pfa.  I decided to use .gsf;
probably that has caused more confusion than it was worth.

I removed the eexec encoding from the donated fonts so they would
load faster, and eliminated some mysterious characters.  That's all.

The Cyrillic fonts are shareware from some place in Oregon.  They are
in their original format.
