Here's my Bitstream Charter fonts:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 33799 2006-01-14 20:31
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/c0632bt_.pfb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34869 2006-01-14 20:31
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/c0648bt_.pfb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 35229 2006-01-14 20:31
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/c0633bt_.pfb

something sneaky like that.

Yep, that would be useful too.  Let's see what urgent problems remain
right now.  Hopefully the set of urgent problems is decreasing.
