Yesterday I spoke to Pierre MacKay at Washington (MacKay@Washington.ARPA)
who handles the Unix distribution of TeX.  The SliTeX fonts in Metafont 
have just been added to the Unix distribution.

To my knowledge, this is the only set of generally available SliTeX fonts.
All of the other distributions (K&S, Maria Code, PCTeX) have failed to
provide these fonts, although of course they were each shipped with SliTeX.

There has been some discussion on the Unix-TeX mailing list of some
dvi drivers gagging on the SliTeX invisible fonts.  Note that as most of
these drivers have never seen an invisible font before (none were out there)
there is the possibility that they will not work with SliTeX.

The Unix Distribution tape is $100, available in 9 track 1600 bpi tar tape
from the University of Washington, Dept. of Computer Science, FR-35,
Seattle, WA 98195, Attn: TeX Distribution Center.
