I have removed these tfm files from /mit/sipb/lib/tex/fonts, since
they were intended for dvitps which we are not installing ever.
dvips uses the new standard filenames, which works as follows:
r <-- "raw" (if this prefix exists, it means the font is encoded
according to the printer's encoding. If it does not exist,
the font is a `virtual' font that uses TeX's encoding.)
p <-- PostScript
xx <- A two-character abbreviation of the family name. For
example:
tm Times
hv Helvetica
nc NewCentury
ag AvantGarde
sy Symbol
w <-- A character describing the weight of the font. For example:
r Roman l Light d demi b bold
y <-- Zero or more characters describing the style of the face.
For example:
r Regular (required only if the width is changed)
i Italic o Oblique c SmallCaps
e Extended n Narrow
I hope this clears up any confusion about the .tfm and .vf files.
