Not taking away anything from your purchase, teTeX comes with some
Postscript fonts already. I did not check if they are in Red Hat
distribution, but if not they are easy to add. I talk about Utopia,
Charter and IBM Courier, not ugly.gsf. :-) Another bunch (URW ones)
comes with ghoscript. It is not hard to make them available both for
X-windows server and for TeX. For TeX all metrics and map files
are quite likely already on your disk.
It is highly advisable to use them with TeX with their own metric files,
but in a pinch they can be substituted for "standard 35". Ghostscript
just does that. :-) Spending money is better option if you are interested
in "standard fonts" and quality but URW variants are really nice.
On CTAN there is whole Computer Modern family in Type1 format (look for
'bakoma'). Particularly handy if you fax your .dvi files with a lot
of formulas in them.
If there is an interest I will post in few days a short description
how to make ghostscript fonts (well, URW ones) available to X-windows.
Oh, and if you have true Times and Helvetica now on yor disk, then
edit Fontmap for ghostscript to point it to real ones and not
use substitions. There is no need anymore.
