Upon my request on how to find a good collection of

        v i r t u a l  f o n t s

I did not get much response in spite of some request of people
who wanted to be informed when I got responses or would have been
successful otherwise.

Well,
instead of answering those people individually I report the result of my
'font hunting' here.

First, I want to say that I'm in the happy situation to have a 486 system
running 386BSD with TeX 3.14, dvips, xdvi, mf, gs and all that stuff running.
16 MB of memory and a 1GB SCSI disk, networked to the Internet, of course.

Perhaps a suggestion to those people reporting recently to have been
eaten up by maintenance/hardware repair costs of 10 year old Sun 2 hardware.

Among the goodies which are piling up in my /usr/local/bin is 'archie'.

Archie gave me the following listing upon asking 'him' with the command line

  archie vf

I marked the two sites (>>>) from where I collected some vf fonts summing up
in a collection of presently 210 fonts.

The list of fonts is appended to this mail. Excuse the bit lengthy outcome.
If someone could increase this number and notify us here, I'd be thankful.
