This is probably an FAQ, but I couldn't find it in 
news.answers

What is a PFM file? Is there any way to take a PFM and generate
an AFM.

Why do I ask?  Well I have some pfb fonts that I want to include in
my TeX files.  These fonts have accompanying pfm files.  TeX needs 
appropriate TFM files to typeset. 
	If someone can tell me how to
		PFM -> AFM
then I can use afm2tfm to
		AFM -> TFM


I hope I'm on the right track! 

Thanks in advance
John.
