Can someone point me to a single coherent source of information
on fonts for TeX/LaTeX?

If I want a font called "nice", do I need both "nice.mf" and "nice.tfm"?  
Is there anything else I'd need to use that font on a NeXT?

Is there a list of fonts that have been created for TeX?

Better yet, is there a list with samples of fonts?

Can someone suggest a TeX font that is close to "BerkeleyBook"?

Thanks for any info,
