Bruce, did you try opening the file in Acrobat? It's based on a very nice
2-page spread layout, and the page structure is immediately apparent once
you see it that way.

One word: texfont.
It took me a while to figure out how to actually use it on my MacOSX
(TeXLive) install, but it works very nicely, once you figure out a couple
stumbling blocks. I actually wrote a My Way tutorial on it, but it ended
up being a bit too cranky. Hans took it more as a bug report, and said
he'd work on some of the issues I brought up.
So I'm not sure whether I should release it as-is, or if I should wait
for texfont to change.

basically what I did was:
set teTeX = /usr/local/teTeX # my tcsh setting of the root tex install
cd $teTeX # wherever you have your root tetex directory
sudo chgrp -R admin texmf-local # make your texlocal directory
sudo chmod -R g+w texmf-local # group-writeable to facilititate changes
cd texmf/fonts
# copy the fonts into the local font directory for munging the names
cp -R afm tfm type1 vf ../../texmf-local/fonts/
cd ../../texmf-local/fonts/afm
mv bit bitstrea # correct a TeXLive 7 naming bug
gunzip -r * # I think these are shipped as gzipped files
sudo texhash
cd # or to a safe home directory where temp files can be created
# next command is all one line:
texfont $teTeX/texmf/context/data/type-tmf.dat --en=texnansi
--fontroot=$teTeX/texmf-local --install --makepath
it'll make a bunch of font charts in the form of .tex files. To run these
(and use the palatino fonts in s-mag) you ought to have
\autoloadmapfiletrue in your cont-sys.tex file.
I *think* that'll get you started. Good luck...
