I'm trying to get ditroff (or "typesetter-independent troff") working
on a personal workstation, something that resembles a Sun Terminal.  It
has a landscape format screen with a resolution of 980 lines with 1280
dots per line (or roughly 100 dots per inch in both directions).  I
don't expect to have much of a problem getting the output filter for
ditroff running, what I really need is some fonts for the beast.

			FONTS

Does anyone know where I can find some fonts?  There must be some out
there with all the workstations coming out.  We will take anything...
free/cheap/expensive, complete/partial.  I'm willing to convert them
from another format (we will be using Knuth's PXL format from TEX).  We
have some fonts for a laser printer and a versatec, and changing
resolutions seems to be impossible without having to go and touch up
each individual character.  So what I need are fonts in the right
resolution.  Any help?  Pointers?  Potential trades?
