You can use `FT_Attach_File' or `FT_Attach_Stream' to link a PFM file
with a PFB file.  However, FreeType only extracts the metric data; the
`Windows Name' from the `PostScript Information' section is not
handled, and you have to get it manually from the attached stream or
file.

Adobe's `5178.PFM.pdf' technote gives the specification that should
help you parse the PFM file.
