  I'm looking into the ftp'ing the fonts I'll need but I'm hoping some
  reader out there can give some tips on "using" PasTeX's CALLMF feat-
  ure.  If you have Arexx and set the CALLMF environment variable then
  a script gets called to tell you what parameters you should call the
  MetaFont program with to build the required fonts.

  Well...I've RTFM'ed (I think EnglishDoc.dvi was the appropriate doc)
  but I guess I'm just that extra little bit thick in that I don't see
  what command (in detail) I should give to MetaFont to build what I'd
  need.

  The nicest solution would be to modify the callmf.rexx Arexx script,
  so that it would call MetaFont to make the font ...
