[yandytex] lstbo not installing under ATM

We received a report from a user that installing Lucida Sans Typewriter
Bold Oblique (lstbo.pfb+pfm) fails to install under ATM ("font is not
valid"), apparently because the name is 32 chars long, and only 31 is
now accepted (despite documentation, etc.).  All the other fonts are
fine, and non-Y&Y TeX is fine.

I tried just changing the name in pfb+pfm, but that didn't work.  Mike
Prager (who also sent in the original report, years ago) saw the same
oh-so-helpful error message when he tried it out.

>From poking around in old mail, etc., it seems Berthold may have created
variants of this font to work around the problem:

I'm wondering if anyone here has ever seen those modified fonts, or has
any knowledge/insight about the problem?  

Thanks,
Karl
