The binary data defining the characters is in a file with an extension of ".PFB". The metrics information that describe the font itself and the relative character size information is in a file with an extension of ".AFM". If you already have the fonts (.PFB files) but not the metrics files (.AFM files), you can obtain the .AFM files from Adobe. Most sources today will ship with both files. Marc L.
