The font names above are unfortunate mistakes; the true font names are
probably (and respectively) Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica-Bold,
Times-Bold, Times-Roman, Times-BoldItalic, Times-Bold, and
Times-Roman.  There exist (shudder) machines that can't handle names
quite this long, so crude hacks are occasionally necessary . . .

If necessary, you can replace the fonts with Computer Modern TeX
fonts fairly easily; one might use (respectively):

cmssbx10 at 12pt, cmssbx10 at 24.883pt, cmbx8, cmr8, cmti8, cmbx12, cmr6

If your site can handle long file names, but the `real' PostScript names
don't work, complain to your site administrater.
