|Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe only TeX uses the metric files,
|the dvi translator programs use only the raster files.  And as an aside,

Yes, you're right of course. I forgot he only wanted to print a
document, not bring up TeX. Then again, tfm files take up only a small
fraction of the space taken up by pk files and they always come
together, so why not get the whole kaboodle?

|when one obtains the TeX distribution, they should also obtain the
|Beebe DVI Drivers from Nelson Beebe at the Univ of Utah.  Excellent
|software for nearly any printer, and all in C.

Indeed.
