If memory serves me right, I managed to bring R2 fonts to R3 by just recom-
piling them (you need bdftosnf and the bdf source of the font as well as
mkfontdir).  R3 fonts work fine with R4.

If you don't have the bdf sources and only need a couple (I have 272 R2 fonts
lying around) I could mail them to you.
