AFMs on CTAN

[Lars Hellström <Lars.Hellstrom@math.umu.se>]

Unless my memory serves me much worse than usual, there used to be a quite
extensive collection of AFMs for commercial fonts on CTAN. However, when I
tried to find one of these files the other week, I failed to do so, even
though I searched the entire FILES.byname for anything named AFM. (This
search did turn up a couple of AFM files, but they were all directly either
math- or TeX-related, and not by far as many as those I remember.)
Therefore I ask:
1. Am I right about this, was there a large collection of AFMs which has
now been removed?
2. If yes, then *why* have they been removed?
3. Where can I find the files today (preferrably somewhere accessible
through anonymous FTP)?
