What I added was a way to call FT_Attach_File, which is used to parse an AFM file and add the metrics to an already existing Type 1 font object. I don't know if there is any way to use Freetype's AFM parser without a PFB file to attach the AFM file to. > I know that the metrics are not exactly the same in a TTF vs and > AFM, but is the interface through Freetype the same whether it's a TTF > or AFM file? Freetype tries to offer a unified interface to different font formats, but for some stuff I think you have to query the sfnt tables (and what have you) of a TTF font, which don't exist in Type 1. TTF was historically developed because Type 1 was a proprietary Adobe technology. Adobe published the spec right after that, but the font formats are quite different as a result. -- Jouni K.
