Post itself does not use the .AFM files all it uses are the actual font files, the PFB files from the windows ATM package. I purchased ATM for windows and moved all the .PFB files over to my Amiga. They work great with Post 1.6. What you might need the .AFM files for is generating .metric files for use with programs such as ProWrite and ProPage. There is a postscript program called getafm.ps that will generate a .AFM from the .PFB. The .AFM can the be used with the MkMetric program to generate the .metric files. I use the MkBmap program to generate bitmap fonts from postscript fonts and the MkMetric program to generate the .metric files. I use these with ProWrite/ProScript and print with PostDJ. Throw together an ARexx exec or two and you have a fairly integrated system. The quality of the output on my DJ500 is amazing, to me at least.
