On ymir.claremont.edu in [anonymous.tex.mf.cm.pica] live the CM
Pica fonts; these were a quick hack I did a few years back to
meet my needs so they only include roman, italic (underlined) and
bold (squiggly underlined). I haven't needed small caps so I
never created it. A follow-up version will be done "someday".

Features:
  - Typeface based on proportions of Xerox 1200 Pica.
  - `` and '' map to ", ' and ` to ', --- to -- and -- to -.
  - Spacing is fixed with double spacing at the ends of
    sentences.

Piece of cake.

\hyphenpenalty=10000
\exhyphenpenalty=10000
\rightskip=0pt plus .5\hsize

I have a LaTeX style file that I use for my own purposes which
has too much stuff hard-wired into it so I won't distribute it.
It's not too much effort to create, however.
