Well Bob, you must of had some MIT undergrad student do this for you and
he never told you what was involved.  After running mkfontdir on the R2
fonts the font.dir file will have an extra "." after every R2 font name.
You need to delete this if you want the fonts to work.  I imagine there
was some sort of specification change which was overlooked.
