The .pk fonts should be the same on any system.  You will need to name them
consistent with what ShowDVI is looking for; see the ShowDVI docs.  You will
need them in the right sizes, too.  Our local TeX-on-Unix system didn't have
them small enough for the previewer, so I set to work with metafont and
generated a set  for 100dpi base size, in magstep 0, .5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3
and 4.  I have one left to do: 5.  I might also do 83 and 91 sizes.  This is
the complete set of standard CM fonts for TeX, but does not include (yet)
the LaTeX fonts.  I'd be willing to send these to folk who want them, if
the volume doesn't get too great.  It would have to be on a set of disks.
I don't want to send that volume of email out from here.  Contact me if
interested.  (But those with a faster computer than a stock A1000 probably
don't have to wait nearly a day for a new set of fonts to pop out of 
MetaFont ;-)
