Steve can get you anything from Autologic's extensive
catalog of fonts, in the usual TeX formats, at arbitrary
sizes and resolutions.

So far I've built two large books in TeX with Autologic
fonts, one in Times Roman and one in Baskerville (which
looks particularly nice with Knuth's math fonts).

I needed fonts at 80dpi for screen preview and 300dpi for my
laser printer; at these resolutions the fonts don't look too
great, but the 300dpi page proofs were acceptable for
editorial and design work.  The final camera-ready copy was
done by TeXSource at a fairly reasonable price, and it
satisfied the perfectionists at Princeton U. Press.

Disclaimer: I have no financial interest in TeXSource, I'm
just a satisfied customer.
