A naive question ...

I have a software package I distribute free to colleagues in my field.
It includes programs to draw certain diagrams they need.  To label these
I distribute with the program some ASCII-ized versions of five fonts
from the Hershey Fonts.  These have the characters defined as a series
of vectors in an arbitrary grid.

Question -- are there any other (non-Hershey) fonts I could get that are
defined as vectors (hence could be converted into a form my programs could use)
and which are free AND also freely redistributable by me on a noncommercial
basis?  It would be nice to have a little more variety of typeface.

Please e-mail information to me and I will summarize to this group if
I hear anything of general interest.  Thanks for reading this.
