Bill,
See, for example, this link:
http://storage.atari-source.com/atari/mirrors/ftp.lip6.fr/pub/atari/Text/speedo.tgz
This file includes Courier and Charter, very common in Linux
distributions. For example, perform a search for "XFree86-fonts-speedo"
and you will find packages that contain contain Speedo fonts.
