The FAQ gives good pointers to tools for dealing with PFB files, but
no reference is made to PFM files (which are the compressed form of
AFM font metric files used by Adobe Type manager.)

I have to move some custom Type 1 fonts onto a PC, so must translate
the AFM ascii files to PFM binary ones somehow... 

Any pointers would be much appreciated - and maybe this is a candidate
for FAQ-ing?
