What did you download, and where did you get the pfm fonts? I have just downloaded the unix distribution, and it includes only afm and pfb fonts.

I am guessing that this site converted the fonts with the fonts2pfb tool. I used this tool on my distribution and got the same type of premature end of file result.
In short, I don't think I'm working with a good set of fonts.
Where did you download your distribution? My home distribution has pfa instead of pfb.
Paul,
The files I am talking about come from the links on the AMS page - http://www.ams.org/tex/type1-fonts.html
I have downloaded the unix and the pc font sets. The unix set comes with only pfb and afm files, in the pfb and afm directories respectively. The pc download contains afm and fonts directories. The afm directory contains afm files, and the fonts directory contains pfb files and the pfmfiles directory. In the latter directory are the pfm files.
The afm files are text files, while the pfms are binary. Try using the pfm files from the pc distribution with PFMReader.
General questions to font gurus. Can we generate font metrics for FOP directly from the AFM files? Do AFM and PFM files contain equivalent information?
