The Mathematica 4.1 (and at least some earlier) distributions DO include the Type 1 (so-called "PostScript") fonts and DO install them by default -- into directory: \<Mathematica_top_directory>\SystemFiles\Fonts\Type1 That directory has the .pfb (and .pfa) files. A separate directory, \<Mathematica_top_directory>\SystemFiles\Fonts\AFM contains the .afm files. I'm not sure that it includes the .pfm files, however. You may need a font utility program, such as is available from Y&Y (http://www.yandy.com) to manufacture the .pfm's from the .afm's.
