I know of no Metafont source for Times-Roman and Helvetica, which are copyrighted font names. If you have a PostScript or other printer which has licensed the fonts from their owners, then you just need TFM files; in the case of PostScript fonts, Adobe supply Adobe Font Metric files instead, which are readily converted to TFM by utilities in at least 3 of the dvi to PostScript packages. -- Sebastian Rahtz S.Rahtz@uk.ac.soton.ecs (JANET) Computer Science S.Rahtz@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Bitnet) Southampton S09 5NH, UK S.Rahtz@sot-ecs.uucp (uucp)
