There were many Adobe Type 1 fonts uploaded to the Windows archive of
cica.cica.indiana.edu. Most of them do not include the .AFM file because
the ATM for Windows does not need them.

There are other uses of such fonts which require it, for example Word
5.0 or ATM under OS/2 or Corel Draw.

Please, when uploading fonts, include the .AFM file if you have one or
can get one. If anyone know how to create .AFM files (for example, from
the .PFM files) for the existing fonts, please let me know.

Thanks,
Kai Uwe Rommel
