Mmm, are any of those fonts different from the Adobe fonts you probably
already have installed? (Helvetica, Bookman, Courier, Times, Zapf
Dingbats, etc...)
Anyway, you can use them. You might want to see some of the Font
HOWTO's for details. Briefly: Copy them to some directory. Change
to that directory and run "type1inst", make the directory available
to X and ghostscript...
