All you have to do is call Adobe and ask for them.  They will send you
a two disk set of AFM for the standard 35 fonts.  It is part number DATA01,
Laserwriter Plus AFM files.  The PPD (printer description) files and a
developer disk containing errorhandler.ps, timepages.ps, uartpatch2.ps,
and sendps (for the mac) are also available.  Call Adobe Developer support
at (415) 961-4400 and ask for Cynthia Johnston or an assistant.  They
are constantly sending literature to me (a register option 2 developer) as
well as a sample copy of AFM.
