I think I know what the confusion is. On a Mac (on weird systems, who knows)
ATM wants the laser font file (what I think you call the PFB file) and the
font metrics file (AFM). The bitmap version is another file. The implication is
that ATM only works on laser fonts. It doesn't help with fonts that are 
bitmapped only. There are a lot of shareware laser fonts but there are even 
more bitmap-only fonts and ATM won't help with those. Also, a lot of laser
fonts do not have AFM files and I'm not sure what ATM does if the AFM file is
missing.
I hope this helps.
