I don't, but I have a program that allows you to "download" the font
from the AIX server and spit it out in BDF format.  If you want it you
can get it either with ftp to 132.206.1.1 (get X/getbdf.c) or by
sending me mail, if you can't ftp it (for whatever reason).

(In case anyone cares...the source is 11823 bytes; compress-&-btoa
reduces this to 7756 bytes.)
