You don't actually need screen fonts.  It should work with just the
font and the AFM file, unless the fonts do something strange.

Try running "buildafmdir" on the /LocalLibrary/Fonts directory.  That
might help, but it should do that automatically for you, actually.

Try pulling up the font in a Yap window and adding some PS to the end
that uses the font to draw some characters.  If you can't get this to
work then there may be some strange assumptions in the Type 3 font
itself.
