I succeeded in extracting most of the information from the .PFM file
assuming it was basically the same as a Windows Font-file (as per the
MS Windows SDK Programmer's Ref). It contains ONLY the width
information for the mapped characters. You don't get any kerning or
composite data (unless someone out there can find it, I can't).
