As far as I know, if you have a font that was delivered with .pfb, 
.afm, and .inf (no .pfm) components, installing it requires ATM, which 
creates the necessary .pfm. And the ONLY way to create that .pfm 
(other than with a font creation application) is to install the font.

Typically, when people migrate their operating system, they carefully 
save and move all their data, and forget about their installed fonts 
(and other things that aren't Data with a capital D). When they 
migrate to Windows Vista and have lost the generated .pfm's, will they 
have ANY means at all of using fonts when all they have is the 
originally distributed pfb/afm/inf files?
