Sorry, my fault, I missed kerning which isn't in a Type 1 font.

In case you do that please contribute the code to FreeType.
Otherwise, I suggest to use e.g. Ghostscript's pf2afm utility to
create AFM files from the PFB (or PFA) and the PFM file.

The easiest way probably is to extend the T1_Read_AFM function (in
src/type1/t1afm.c), checking whether first four bytes are `0', `1',
`x', `y', where y*256+x is exactly the size of the PFM file.
