The PSAFM procedure takes an Adobe Font Metrics file as input and generates a new AFM file in the format that IDL likes. This new file differs from the original in the following ways:
- Information not used by IDL is removed.
- AFM files with the AdobeStandardEncoding are supplemented with an ISOLatin1Encoding.
This routine is written in the IDL language. Its source code can be found in the file psafm.pro in the lib subdirectory of the IDL distribution.
