A few others asked questions about how to get afm files from pfm files.
I still haven't found a way myself, other than running getafm.ps on the
font.  Anyone?  (I'd like to be able to get the kern pairs, if present in
the .pfm file.)

The sonata.cc.purdue.edu ftp site has a "Mac Font Resource Converter" program
(mfrc.c) to do this.  At the time I got it, it was under
next/source/mac-font2next.shar.Z (I think), but the source directory has
since been split up, so you'll have to look around for it.  Although written
on and for a NeXT, I think it'll work on other Unix boxes.  (NeXT PS fonts
are in plain ASCII files.)
