Re: Metrics and map file for Adobe Utopia

The files are part of teTeX:

$ /t/ctan/systems/unix/teTeX/3.0/distrib> tar ztvf tetex-texmfsrc-3.0.tar.gz | grep freen
-rw-r--r-- root/root    322470 2004-09-15 23:48:48 source/latex/psnfss/freenfss.zip

A simple
  cd `kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFDIST`
  unzip -qo source/latex/psnfss/freenfss.zip
  texhash
makes the metrics available for regular use.

The Adobe Utopia fonts are no free software in the FSF sense (with the
consequence, for example, that Thanh does not know if he can distribute
his modified versions). In this situation, I don't want to encourage
people to use these fonts.

Sure and teTeX includes them, too. Else, Walter's license would be
violated.
