I grabbed a copy of the 118dpi TeX fonts from sun.soe.clarkson.edu and
converted them to 'Bdf' format for use with 'xtex' using 'mftobd'.
These are available for anonymous FTP from foobar.colorado.edu if
people perfer that to 85dpi fonts. I found the 118dpi fonts harder to
read, but I have a 75dpi display.

another alternative is to pick up the PK fonts from sun.soe.clarkson.edu
and convert them yourself using:

	foreach file (*pk)
	  mftobdf -dpi 118 $file && rm -f $file
	end

and then convert them to your server format. This assumes you've
installed mftobdf.

to try out the fonts, simply do:

	% xtex -dpi 118 -dpiVert 118 file.dvi

or edit Xtex.ad and change

# Use these if you're using metafont generated 85dpi fonts for Suns.
	*.dpiHoriz: 85
	*.dpiVert: 83.5

to

	*.dpiHoriz: 118
	*.dpiVert: 118



please try to FTP during off-peak hours. Thank you.
