I am trying to install some Type1 Univers fonts that are from around 1991 
(at least that's the copyright date) onto a Vista PC. Each font consists of 
an .AFM, .INF, and .PFB file. The font install panel in Windows Vista does 
not show anything when I browse to the folder containing those files.

There is information at the Acrobat website that says "PostScript Type 1 
fonts (.pfb + .pfm)" are supported on Windows Vista: 
http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/fontinstall/instructions_english.html . 
Does the plus sign in the description mean that I have to have both the .pfb 
and the .pfm file to be able to install the font, and not just one or the 
other?
