You don't say what format your metric files are.  If they are standard
Adobe Font Metric (AFM) files then all the characters in the font will
have their font metrics following the "StartCharMetrics" tag.  Any
"composed" characters metrics can be derived from the information
following the "StartComposites" tag.

If you're dealing with some extract format then ???
