Binary install for PFA fonts

[Matthias Neeracher]

On MacOS X, we currently don't have mftrace. It would be tempting to 
port it, and I've experimented with a port, but I'm not nearly there 
yet. Furthermore, mftrace would add a large number of additional 
prerequisites to the lilypond install.

On the other hand, several users have asked for the .pfa fonts. I've 
experimented with extracting them from the prebuilt Debian (i386) 
package, which works. However, that requires downloading a considerable 
amount of extra material, and waiting until the Debian packages for a 
version are available.

I was wondering, therefore, whether it wouldn't be possible to make 
prebuilt pfa fonts for each version available for download. I'd 
estimate that a gzipped tar of the type1 fonts would be approximately 
as large as the source archive.
