There's the Courier family of Type 1 Fonts contributed to X Windows
Release 5 by IBM.  There's Courier, Courier-Bold, Courier-Italic and
Courier-BoldItalic.  Each font contains 479 characters, which probably
covers all the IBM characters you could want.  You'll have to be able
to use PostScript fonts with TeX using, for example, dvips.  I think
the outlines are provided in PFB or PFA format.

The following is the copyright information provided with the outlines
and AFM files.  Sounds like public domain to me, but I'm not exactly
sure what the IBM/MIT X Consortium Courier Typefont agreement is.
