For those interested in obtaining (ITC) Garamond fonts and others,
Karl Berry has graciously corrected the Waterloo fonts (from
mims-iris.waterloo.edu) and made his corrected versions available at
ftp.cs.umb.edu (192.12.26.4) in pub/tex/waterloo.tar.

Last week, I asked how one obtains PostScript pfb fonts for the Stone,
Optima, and Garamond families.  The answer: you pay for them.  
Justin Bur provided me with the following information:

> Adobe Systems, Inc.  1-800-83-FONTS.  Ask for the PC version (rather
> than Macintosh), if you intend to use the fonts only with dvips.
> (Macintosh-format Adobe fonts can be converted quite easily but it's
> a bit messy.)

There seems to be a consensus that the PostScript fonts are nicer than
the ITC versions, however the price for the latter cannot be beaten.
