Complication: I do have the Adobe Times font files tir_____.pfb, etc.; the Adobe Courier font files com_____.pfb, etc.; and the Adobe Helvetica font files hv______.pfb, etc..Also all the corresponding .pfm and .afm files.

But I do NOT seem to have the corresponding .tfm or .fd files.

How proceed?

Note: I did find this page http://spacehorn.com/osx/xtra/tnr.html which has a link do a .dmg that seems to provide .tfm and .fd files, but with a different naming scheme: pns.map;  pnsr8y.tfm, etc.; omspns.fd, etc.; and timesnewx.sty — and NO support included for Adobe Courier or Helvetica.
