<P>
There are archives containing the bitmaps of many of these fonts
at various sizes and resolutions.  The fonts must have been
generated for the correct print engine: e.g. write-white or
write-black.  The archives generally hold only the sizes used by
TeX.  These are `magstep' sizes, and are not exact <A HREF="FAQ.texinfo_17.html#GLOSS11">point</A> sizes.
It is probably better to generate them from the Metafont sources
yourself if you can.

The best place to look for raster fonts was almost certainly:
mims-iris.waterloo.edu
<P>
but it isn't any more, the fonts have all gone.  Let me know if
you find them elsewhere.  Most people seem to have moved to using
PostScript fonts or Bitstream ones instead now.

Some other sites are:

The occasional posting of ftp sites to comp.misc and comp.archives
lists these and several other sites.
