No, you must use PFA format. However, converting is a trivial
programming task.  You just have to know the basic structure of the
font, and to remove the control words, converting the binary portion
of the font to hex pairs. (Also, PFB2PFA converters exist).

See http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/type/ftypes.html and
Adobe tech note 5040 ("IBM PC format" is PFB.)
