The excellent database at quiche.cs.mcgill.ca for fpt'able programs was
mentioned already in this discussion group. However, ways to retrieve
the information were not clear. Here is one way:

Suppose you want to know where are files whose filename contains, say, cmr10.
Here is what you press (parts in square brackets are for exposition only):

telnet quiche.cs.mcgill.ca
[username] archie
[no password is required.]
set search sub
set mailto <your e-mail address>
prog cmr10
[you may see many files scrolling on your screen, too fast to be useful]
mail
[you will get the database of the requested files in your e-mail]
quit

BTW, if you ftp to the above address, using anonymous ftp, you will
find in directory /pub/recipes/tex the USENET cookbook; namely, many
recipes written in Latex. Enjoy the meals.
