SYNOPSIS
pf2afm font
DESCRIPTION
pf2afm extracts Adobe Font Metric (AFM) data from a PostScript Type 1 font binary (.pfb) or ASCII (.pfa) file. It writes the generated AFM content to standard output, which is typically redirected to a .afm file.The utility is a small wrapper that invokes Ghostscript with the internal pf2afm.ps script. It is helpful when only a font's binary form is available but AFM metrics are required by TeX, Ghostscript, or other typesetting tools.

PostScript Type 1 font file (.pfb or .pfa) from which metrics are extracted.
CAVEATS
