pf2afm [font.pfb] > [font.afm]

说明
pf2afm extracts Adobe Font Metric (AFM) data from a PostScript Type 1 font binary (.pfb) or ASCII (.pfa) file. It writes the generated AFM content to standard output, which is typically redirected to a .afm file. The utility is a small wrapper that invokes Ghostscript with the internal pf2afm.ps script. It is helpful when only a font's binary form is available but AFM metrics are required by TeX, Ghostscript, or other typesetting tools.
