Well, yes, you do need an afm file, as it says.

Hi,
I have problems creating a new mapping for a postscript font.
I want to use the font-family <TheSans> from Luc(as) de Groot.
The font only holds a .PFM file but no .afm file.
The. PFM looks similary to those in grDevices\afm
It does not to me: it looks like postscript code. You need a program
called pfm2afm or the ghostscript script pf2afm to do the conversion.
When i use postcriptFont(), i get an error!
ivalid font metric information in PostScript font specification
(I copied the original .PFM as .afm into the grDevices\afm folder. I use
the Windows version)
