Font help

[Paulo Ney de Souza]

Very hard to even get started with, Sanjay, especially without looking at
the files in more detail. Several of the fonts listed above are
proprietary, which makes it even harder to deal with.

Some of these font names remind me of the Y&Y TeX system of a few years
back. It would be nice to look at the original "log" file to find out where
it was processed in order to plan a structure to deal with. Installing the
fonts in a new system is very easy -- via XeTeX, and that may be a path to
solve this problem.
