this is worrying, even if it leaves us who already have copies feeling
slightly smug...

nah -- those aren't the fonts, they're metrics for using the adobe
version of the fonts, and are (a) painfully old and (b) need the
commercial adobe set to go with them.  (one gets lucida tt fonts with
m$ operating systems, but i don't know how they relate to the adobe
fonts.)
