Okay so potentially, -1 on the vote. Making AFM and PFM important again.
How important do you thing that extra data is on a modern Gnu/Linux system.
Without going into C code, to what extent does Freetype work around when it
does not find a metric file for a given font file?
FreeType doesn't care about additional data in afm/pfm files, it's applications
and users who care. For instance a decent typesetting application must require
reasonable metrics and kerning data to be available for professional fonts.
