This is Paul Field's TeXFonts 3.00 distribution from HENSA. I have made
some slight alterations:
*) MFBase is missing. These files are in metafont.zip. They have been
moved to their proper place in the TDS.
*) The Type1 PostScript files and encoding files have been removed. I
have fixed the bug in the font files that caused them to crash the
PostScript printer driver
*) The Metafont sources for the AMS fonts have been added.
*) Some fonts with errors have been reconverted. (msbm*, lcircle*).
*) A lot of fonts have been added to the `Old' zips: manfnt, cmex*, all
logo sizes and shapes and more.
*) Messages files for territories 6, 7 and 34 have been added.
The fonts that I have generated are not of the best quality and they
have no hinting. I hope to improve on this.

Paul Field's readme.txt follows (slightly updated):
TeXFonts distribution
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The full TeXFonts installation is currently around 11Mb. So you can
minimise the amount of disc space (and downloading time, if you're
getting the fonts from the Internet), the distribution has been
split up so that you can download only the files you need.
Standard downloads
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here are a few 'standard' types of users and the archives they need to
download:
1) You just want to preview some dvi documents (using DVIview 1.02 or later)
or to try out TeX/LaTeX to see what they're like.
Download:
TeXFonts
Oldcore
Oldro
BaK1core
BaK1ro
2) You want to produce documents and you're happy with the standard
TeX/LaTeX fonts.
Download:
TeXFonts
Oldcore
Oldro
BaK1core
BaK1ro
BaK2core
BaK2ro (omit this if you're not worried about top-quality output)
3) You want to use dvips for quality PostScript output.
Download:
TeXFonts
Oldcore
Oldmf
Oldro
BaK1core
BaK1mf
BaK1ro
BaK2core
BaK2mf
BaK2ro (omit this if you're not worried about top-quality screen output)
(and VPoScript if you want to use the printer's built-in fonts in
your documents)
If you're a more advanced user you can look in the section below to
determine exactly which archives you need.
Details (for advanced users)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
***** To start with download the TeXFonts archive *****
TeXFonts is split into a number of packages:
Old
---
This contains a number of fonts that you are likely to need but are
not in the BaKoMa package (see below) because the BaKoMa versions
could not be converted to RISC OS outline format.
You need this if you are using LaTeX graphics or are using anything
more than simple maths (i.e. you need cmex10).
VPoScript
---------
This contains virtual fonts for PostScript fonts. You only need this
if you wish to produce PostScript output (via dvips) and you want
to use the printer's fonts rather than TeX's fonts.
BaKoMa
------
This contains all the standard TeX fonts and some of the AMS fonts.
It is a very large package and so has been broken up into 5 parts
each of which has archives with the following suffixes:
...core Contains the tfm files (and possibly other package files)
...mf Contains mf files
You only need this if you use metafont (e.g. you need pk files)
...ro Contains RISC OS outline versions of the fonts
You need this if you wish to view the fonts accurately under
RISC OS (e.g. using DVIview).
The five parts are:
1) A font for each standard type style (e.g. cmr10)
You need these
2) Standard sizes for the standard types (e.g. cmr6, cmr7 etc.)
You don't need these if you just want to preview documents (DVIview
v1.02 and later will do a good job of substituting for these fonts)
or you just want to try TeX/LaTeX out (they should substitute for
missing fonts).
3) These are non-standard computer modern fonts (e.g. cmcsc, cmbsy, cmtex)
Most people won't need these but if the standard fonts aren't enough
for you, try these.
A1) A font for each AMS type style
More maths fonts (eufb8, eufm8, eurb8, eurm8, eusb8, eusm8, msam8, msbm8)
A2) Additional sizes for the AMS type styles (5, 6, 7, 9, 10)
