The latest version of AmigaTeX supports PostScript (through Post).  Anyway,
Tomas Rokicki (Mr. AmigaTeX) suggests purchasing the Adobe fonts by getting
Adobe Typs Manager for Windows (contains the BASIC fonts ... Times-Roman,
Helvetica, Courier (and the bold, italic, and bold italic versions of these)
and Symbol.  Adobe Type Manager Plus Pack contains the remaining standard
PostScript Fonts.  The PostScript fonts are (to the best of my knowledge)
NOT public domain and so must be purchased.  The Type manager lists for
$99 (I think) but can be obtained for about $57 and the plus pack which lists
for $199 (I think) can be had for about $117.  You'll also need some way
(messydisk.device) to read IBM disks.  You can then just copy the font
files to your AMIGA and go.

I hope this helps.
