And here is the money. There are two versions of the make file, one for 
using with Ghostscript names and another to use the AFM files following 
Karl Berry's scheme as provided in most TeX distributions. As well I have 
added a heavily modified AWK script to translate GS's names to Berry's names.

There is one caveat. The slanted symbol font is not what it should be, that 
is, it should be generated on-the-fly. I wonder what tool was used to 
produced the symbolsl.afm file in the generate directory in the first place.

What I can guarantee: The fonts are mapped correctly, but the font 
mentioned above. And all fonts have an Euro sign --- as in typing \(Eu and 
obtaining the real thing.

I won't touch the issue of a download map just yet. In principle, convert 
the PS file to PDF with GS and print that, or print using GS. I presume 
that most people don't have PS printers attached to their desktop 
computers/"free unix" boxes but rather print to some cheaper technology 
printer and use some sort of RIP sitting in between (CUPS/redmon and GS, 
most often).
