Font help

I am working on a book and the publisher has sent me the prior edition's 
files.  I am trying to get the files to compile using latex from the 
texlive installation on my Mac but am running into trouble with how to 
deal with the fonts since they appear not to be where latex wants them 
or there are additional problems.

One folder from the publisher contains font files as follows:

HVB_____.PFB    HV______.PFB    ITC-OWBK.FNT    MTEX.PFM MTMI.PFM    
MTMIB.PFM    MTSYN.PFM    OWBI____.PFM OWB_____.PFM    Offici-B.fnt    
TIBI____.PFM    TIB_____.PFM TII_____.PFM    TIR_____.PFM    
ZD______.PFM    timesbd.ttf
HVB_____.PFM    HV______.PFM    MTEX.PFB    MTMI.PFB    MTMIB.PFB 
MTSYN.PFB    OWBI____.PFB    OWB_____.PFB    Offic-BI.fnt 
TIBI____.PFB    TIB_____.PFB    TII_____.PFB    TIR_____.PFB 
ZD______.PFB    times.ttf

and some of these appear to be loaded in the style files:

Kumba_symbols.tex:\font\rrmu=mtgu at 10pt
P04_Zienk.sty:\font\tmb=tib at 15pt
P04_Zienk.tex:\font\chapheadfont=TGB2 at 12pt%
P04_Zienk.tex:%\font\chapfont=TGL at 22pt%
P04_Zienk.tex:\font\authorfont=TGB at 14pt%
P04_Zienk.tex:\font\affilfont=TGO at 10pt%
P04_Zienk.tex:\font\tocfont=TGB at 8pt%
P04_Zienk.tex:\font\itemheadfont=TGB at 10pt%
P04_Zienk.tex:\font\zapfont=ZD at 2.75pt%
P04_Zienk.tex:\font\tabfootfont=HVO at 7.5pt%
P04_Zienk.tex:\font\tabentriesfont=HV at 8.5pt%
P04_Zienk.tex:\font\tabcolheadfont=HVB at 8.5pt%
P04_Zienk.tex:\font\tabcolheadsupfont=HVO at 5.7pt%
P04_Zienk.tex:\font\tabcolsubheadfont=HVBO at 8.5pt%
P04_Zienk.tex:\font\titgr=hvmbi at 20pt
P04_Zienk.tex:\font\higr=hvmbi at 13pt

when I try to run latex it fails at the load of \font\tmb=tib as latex 
tries to run 'mktextfm tib' and then complains " I can't find file `tib' 
".  Any help on pointer on how to get things running (even minimally) 
would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
