We had the same problem. It seems, at least this version is incomplete
(or was, I didn't check again). We got the amsfonts from elsewhere (I
think it was a Bitnet-Server). It seems to be for MS-Dos, because it
is in a zoo-file and uses CR-LF in text files. If you don't find
an other (and nearer) way you can get it by anon. ftp from
ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de [131.159.0.110]: pub/tex/metafonts/amsfonts.zoo
(that's about 700 K)
