Does anyone know the physical layout of the .metric files used in
Professional Page???? I know that the first four bytes are the offsets for
the metric information for the plain, bold, italic, and bold-italic versions
within the .metric file.  However, how is the actual metric information
stored in the .metric file and for that matter, what exactly comprises the
metric information and where is it gotten from???  Does it relate to the AFM
files that come with quite a few Postscript files???  How would I go about
taking an AFM file and creating a Professional Page .metric file???  If
anyone has any info on this I would appreciate getting it!!
