As Dov said.

There are a number of utilities that will convert an .afm file to 
.pfm. Just about all of them seem to be named afmtopfm or afm2pfm. 
Some are very old, but functional, dos command line, and I found this 
Windows-based one that seems to work well.

Googling for afmtopfm and afm2pfm will find more.

If you have a font creation program like FontLab, you can open the 
.pfb file and import the data from the .afm file to create a new 
.pfb/.pfm combination.
