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)
Do you have some link about description of AFM and TFM files?
IIRC, PFB file has vector of glyph names. So from this information can
be generated encoding font table as for each glyph name can be assigned
unicode character. And this could work for any Type 1 font in PFB format
Or I'm missing something?
an afm file has the metrics as well as the kerns and ligature info; the
pfb is needed to sort out the glyph index (there is a name <-> index
mapping in between)
normally a pfb file ships with an afm file (from that one can make a
tfm); if i'm bored i can make a tfm to afm converter but even then there
might be some hand-crafting needed so better make sure the csr fonts
ship as a proper pfb/afm package
