[comp.sys.mac.misc] AFM files on mac

The files I need are the ADOBE files.  They look like large script version
A's.  Where do I find these for fonts that are currently used here in the lab.
I assume they would reside on some systems diskette, but having gong all
through the disks, cannot find them anywhere.  

Is there some way I can convert the ps files in the printer to the needed
versions to transfer to the next?

 Adobe's metric files are not provided except on the Adobe labelled font
packages. Apple simply provides bitmapped fonts. If you are looking for the
actual outline fonts you'll either have to get ATM/PlusPack or the appropriate
Adobe font package. However, as far as either metric or outline files are
concerned, Apple has never distributed either one with Macs.
