you should be able to get mf_2.7 ( a metafont package) on abcfd20, which
if I am not mistaken the same place you got PasTeX.  I have talken (e-mail)
with the author of PasTeX, and he will work with you if you have any problems.

I think PasTeX is great, I have it completely integrated with Cygnus Ed. And
I am currently working on an Arexx LaTeX document builder interface with
PasTeX and CED.  It will allow you to select the document styles, layouts,
fonts, sections etc. and generate the correct LaTeX language. 

Later,
