PFM files are peculiar to windows.  They are the mechanism that windows
uses to compute character widths.  AS for whether the fonts will work
with Postscript, I don't know.  You need to try it.  If you don't have a
way to get access to a postscript (Adobe) printer directly, you might try
a service place that prints laser printer pages.  send the font to the
printer, and then send a short routine that selects the font and prints
something.
