Gaak!  I'd suggest sending a copy to Fred Fish, who's stuff managages to get
almost universal distribution and who needs to be kept distracted from his
Mac-II.

On the other hand, I don't see any real problem to posting both the source
and the binaries for the fonts to the sources group.  The idea is to keep the
binary only stuff separate from the potentially transportable source code,
but I don't see any reason to get religious about some binary font images...
