The afm2tfm program is distributed with dvips, from labrea.stanford.edu.
If you are using a pre-VF TeX, you should get dvips4.21 and use its
afm2tfm, since that version remaps the PostScript characters to conform
more closely to what LaTeX and plain TeX expect.  If you are running a
VF-cognizant TeX, get dvips5.01 (or later) and use that afm2tfm, since
it will generate the appropriate VF files for the remapping.
