- Note also that (assuming Type 1 fonts) you must have the x.AFM file as
- well of the x.PFB font def file. A lot of the fonts that are
- available for downloading right now have the x.PFM file instead of the
- x.AFM file. Get the original x.AFM file that goes with the font if
- you can locate it, or otherwise retrieve pfm2afm.zoo from
- ftp-os2.nmsu.edu and use it to convert the x.PFM to an x.AFM.
