For Windows Type 1 font installation using Windows' native "Install Font" facility (in Windows Vista as well as XP and 2000), you need both the .PFM and .PFB files. In the "old" days, Adobe Type Manager (no longer supported) did have the ability to install Type 1 fonts via the combination of .PFB, .AFM, and .INF file, creating a .PFM from same. But that is not supported by the Windows' native facility.
