There are two programs that I know of to perform AFM->PFM conversion.  One
is the shareware program REFONT.  It converts Macintosh Type 1 fonts to IBM
Type 1 and will also do the conversion between AFM and PFM.  Another option
is the Adobe program MAKEPFM.  It comes with the Font Foundry software that
they bundle with the ATM Plus Pack.  It requires that you have a .INF file
though and I can't seem to find any documentation that details what the .INF
file contains.
