[tex-live] Utopia fonts

    I think that most Europeans are interested in Adobe Euro fonts.

Even stupid Americans might occasionally be interested :).

As you probably know, there are free Euro fonts too; the best package I
found was eurosym by Henrik Theiling, the fonts being named feym*.

Anyway, it's great that you wrote the script.  Looks nice and
straightforward.  My only immediate suggestion is to put a brief comment
at the top and/or write a simple --help message explaining what it does.
Perhaps then it could go on CTAN in the appropriate directory.

Oh, one trivial thing, "echo -e" isn't terribly portable AFAIK.  In this
case you can easily get the same result with plain echo:
echo; echo "Target: ${TYPE1DIR}"

    Are there other programs than wget and ncftp which can be used in a
    script? 

You meant to do the actual retrieval?  Plain ftp is probably more widely
available than ncftp, but is probably too much trouble to write the here
documents, etc.

Thanks,
k
