there aren't -- just this enormous monolithic lump called cm-super.
the thing that irritates me about it is that (almost) every font is
present in all sizes from 5-11, and then the magsteps to 35.83, so that
not only is each font huge, there are also an awful lot of them (409 on
the archive just now -- 60 mbytes or so).
all as described in the faq. i dunno why i bother...
