Hello,

with my Smalltalk-80 Version came a lot of AFM Files, which ought to be
helpfull in PostScript Printing. The handbook said something about Font Metrics,
which are hidden in this files. Does anybody know the format of these files,
or any program which uses these informations.

Are the metric informations also in Type 1 fonts?
