Re: ps2pk vs. gsftopk
Will they be SWA (set width adobe)?
Yes.
[BTW comparing unmr8a.afm and ptmr8a.afm shows they are except for
kerning]
Right. This is true of all the fonts URW has contributed, I believe.
Also, the status of the acrobat reader fonts is not clear to me: if you
install it under any flavour of unix you get
Times/Helvetica/Courier/ZapfDingbats in pfa format: as they
are meant to preview documents, why shouldn't you be
allowed to install them in X or gs or the TeX utilities?
It depends on the exact terms of the license you accepted with acrobat.
In any case, it's a moot point. The URW fonts include all of the above.

Does free for `P.D' also mean free for other people?
Yes. Peter tells me URW gave permission to distribute the fonts under
both the GPL and the Aladdin PUBLIC license.
