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.
