[comp.fonts] ag-book .tfm and .psfm files

The distribution of the PS fonts to be used with tex seems to have an 80K
file for ag-book.tfm. I have not been able to locate a working version
anywhere, the file seems to be corrupt. Does anybody have a working
ag-book.tfm file? Even the old PS-AvantGarde-Book.*fm would do! Thanks
in advance...

I had to rebuild the ag-book.tfm file from the .afm file that we have
from the Adobe transcript software.  Use the aftopl and pltotf
programs in the TeX distribution.  Before you run pltotf change the
line `(DESIGNSIZE D 1)' to `(DESIGNSIZE R 10.0)' to make it come out
ok.  This worked fine for me.
