Note that the PFM format contains information simply not present in the AFM file (notably the Windows menu name / style linking information). The utility had better also be processing the INF file in addition to the AGM in order to get that info right, else the result won't be reliably interoperable with the "real" fonts from other sources.

Cheers,
