   Follow Knuth: the needed file is on, e.g., labrea.stanford.edu
   as tex/doc/gkpmac.tex. There is an article in a back issue of TUGboat
   concerning these macros, which were used to produce Concrete Mathematics.
   It should be relatively straightforward to modify lfonts.tex to make
   LaTeX use these fonts.

Saying that this is "relatively straightforward" is a relative
statement at best --- I certainly see nothing straightforward about
it!  But rescue is at hand:  If you move to the Mittelbach/Sch\"opf
font selection scheme then this kind of change really does become
quite easy.  And there is even a concrete.sty file included (if my
memory serves me right?) which you can use for a starting point.
