  I'm trying to find out what fonts are available on/with our TeX 
installation.  I've looked in the fonts directory and see many *.tfm
files, and in the fonts/pk directory there are some corresponding
(more or less) *.pk### files.

  My questions:

   1) is there an easy way to determine what fonts are available?

   2) sometimes the dvi2ps program will try to call MetaFont to create
       a pk file.  does this mean that i should probably go through and
       create these?

   3) how do i create a corresponding pk file for a tfm file?


  The system I'm using is a Sun 4/490, SunOS 4.1.1, with TeX 3.0.

thanks for any help,
