1. General
AfmMaker is a utility program which generates a bare bone AFM file
for a postscript outline font. To install a postscript font, its AFM
file is necessary. However, some outline fonts do not come with
AFM files. If those fonts are Adobe Type I fonts, you can get
their AFM files from Adobe's mail file server. Otherwise, you have
to create them by hands. AfmMaker helps you doing that. It generates
AFM files which will make the font usable in the NeXT computers.
If you want to add more information such as kerning, you can edit
the generated AFM files by hands.
We have used this utility to create AFM files for third party Type 3
postscript fonts.
