I read something about a PFM being similar to at AFM but the itext library that coldfusion uses prefers the AFM

Have a look at this thread. http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-users/2002/02/0249.html

Cheers
Gareth.

any ideas?

I have found that installing the TTF or PFM font file into control panel
    
on
  
the server is the most fool proof way of getting fonts to work with
CFDOCUMENT regardless if you want the fonts embedded or not.

there is also a catch with TTFs font files that have an 'Installable
Embedding' flag set on them. this little program will reset that flag for
you:
http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~twm/embed/

This is a assuming you have permission to re-distribute the font.

There is also a setting in Macromedia/Adobe Fontographer that will change
this flag for you and you can re-export to a new font.

I have to generate a lot of reports and was looking at CFDOCUMENT as a
      
solution, until I discovered that CFDOCUMENT does not handle all types of
fonts.
    
What else can I use or can I get CFDOCUMENT to use the fonts I require?
