Fonts are available commercially from several sources in the BDF format.
Project Athena purchased several sets from Adobe; the ones you mention
are among these.

BTW, 2 years ago when we purchased the Adobe fonts, they were putting
character metrics in a separate (AFM) file, which you had to remember to
request along with the BDF file (we didn't remember...).  I've no idea
if this is still Adobe's practice.
