Thanks, André.
I can find lots of .pfb files in my teTeX installation. Eg:
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmb10.pfb
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/symbols/msam10.pfb
It'd be nice if I could get mkfontdir working.
Currently, I get:

I have .pfb fonts in my X11 font path, so my system isn't sooo backward.
man mkfontdir isn't particularly informative. Anybody out there an expert at
this?
Anyway, I'm outa here.
Later,
Angus
