I've now restored [pdf]latex support for all of these
fonts. When necessary to comply with the Reserved Font
Name provision of the license, the pfb fonts and any
artificially-generated ttf or otf fonts have been re-named,
but any document that uses only documented features of the
packages should be successfully processed by [pdf]latex as
before.
