	One of our professors is trying to print a LaTeX 
	document which uses the `acmconf.sty' style file.  
	LaTeX warns that it is replacing an unavailable 
	`\sf' font with the `\rm' font in the same point 
	size.  

	Using `\tracingcommands', the culprit appears to 
	be the font `cmss7' which indeed is not available 
	on our machines, and does not seem to be available 
	on the `standard' distribution from labrea, or among 
	the fonts I ftp'ed last summer from labrea/sunsoe/
	ymir among others (in any - pk/gf/mf - format).  

	Can anyone provide a pointer to or further infor-
	mation about this font?  (Thanks in advance.)
