goto www.adobe.com and locate the .pdb files corresponding to the fonts
you need. download these and copy into the reportlab/fonts directory.
The windows files should work if you're running a x86 unix.
The files will be called something like

Sy______.pfb
Zd______.pfb
coo_____.pfb
cob_____.pfb
cobo____.pfb
com_____.pfb
Zy______.pfb
Zx______.pfb
_a______.pfb
_ab_____.pfb
_abi____.pfb
_ai_____.pfb
_ebi____.pfb
_ei_____.pfb
_er_____.pfb
_eb_____.pfb


this mapping is used internally in ReportLab

    _font2fnrMap =      {
'symbol':                               'Sy______',
'zapfdingbats':                         'Zd______',
'helvetica':                            '_a______',
'helvetica-bold':                       '_ab_____',
'helvetica-boldoblique':        '_abi____',
'helvetica-oblique':            '_ai_____',
'times-bold':                           '_eb_____',
'times-bolditalic':                     '_ebi____',
'times-italic':                         '_ei_____',
'times-roman':                          '_er_____',
'courier-bold':                         'cob_____',
'courier-boldoblique':          'cobo____',
'courier':                                      'com_____',
'courier-oblique':                      'coo_____',
                                        }

so you might be able to reduce your download.
