Not several, but all! Metrics are stored in ftm files, e.g. csr10.tfm.
For each font there is metafont source code, tex metrics and for some
also type1 variant (as pfb file): csr10.mf csr10.tfm csr10.pfb

afaiks no afm files

And why do you need afm files? Are not TeX metrics (tfm) enough?

then you can just load the font (given that the afm matches the pfb)

AFM file contains just font metrics, right? Why is TFM file (which
contains also metrics) usable? What I trying understand is where is the
problem as until now TFM + PFB was enough...

because afm/pfb files contain info about what characters we have while the tfm file only has metrics (in which case one also needs to interpret the encoding vector)
