I've had a good response to this one; thanks to one and all.

A subset of the Utopia font family, comprising

Utopia-Bold
Utopia-BoldItalic
Utopia-Italic
Utopia-Regular

can be found on

export.lcs.mit.edu [18.24.0.12]

in the directory structure beginning

/pub/R5untarred/contrib/fonts/Utopia

Each font has its own directory, with font program (PFA), metrics
(AFM), and some screen bitmaps. The subdirectories are

UTBI____.dir for Utopia-BoldItalic
UTB_____.dir for Utopia-Bold
UTI_____.dir for Utopia-Italic
UTRG____.dir for Utopia-Regular

The data is NOT Public Domain, as noted in the following from
Adobe's README file ---

In the interests of furthering standards for the X Window System, Adobe
Systems Incorporated has contributed to the X Consortium and its members

donation will now allow users to experience and freely use traditional
high-quality Adobe type in the X Window environment.

Utopia is also available on

ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/{charter,utopia}.tar.Z

along with Bitstream Charter. I have not checked the format or
status of the Bitstream font; could someone please summarise?
(Mail me your summary - I can only WRITE this at present.)

General information about PostScript fonts, programming and
implementation can be found by mailing

Thanks to all who responded; I now have Utopia working
beautifully with AmigaTeX and the `Post' software-based RIP.
