send them over for conversion if you have .bdf or .ttf.  i'll put
them on ucalgary.ca's web for everybody to download

though ttf's are a bit heavy for today's graphics cards, they'll be
fine a generation later -- it's funny how Plan 9 speeds up with each
new piece of hardware, while things like Linux and Windows work
at the same percieved speed.
