Apropos of purchasing the Sonata font from Adobe and wanting to write my
own postscript generating programs to use it, I'ld like to be able to
decipher the AFM (Adobe Font Metrics) file that came with the font.
My attempts to call Adobe Customer Support always end with my leaving a message
to be called back and never receiving any response.

Can anyone tell me this information?  I can make some guesses, but I'ld
rather know for sure.

Thanks for any help.
