I have downloaded various fonts from the US os/2 BBS's.  The problem
with them is that they aren't (IMHO) as elegant or as well-designed
as the Adobe originals that one says on postscript printers.  If you
want fonts as well-designed as the Adobe fonts, the only thing you can
do is to buy an Adobe font.  (Or go, eg, to other 3rd party font vendors:
I've used ImageClub, in Canada, somewhere).  Otherwise what you get isn't
bad, but it's not the real McCoy.

.. just my 2 cents.
