AFM Files
The popular Micrografx WIndows PostScript driver can translate an AFM to its
own native WFM metrics file format. Ventura can translate an AFM to an
intermediate VFM file and then to its native .WID table format. WIndows apps
using the standard (Aldus?) PostScript driver get their character widths and
kerning information from PFM files (NOT screen fonts). PFMs are analagous to
AFMs, but there is no way that I know of to translate an AFM to a PFM.
