Oops, great thank you for pointing out pair kerning by AFM/PFM I've overlooked! I had to refer PostScript Language Reference Manual p. 333. It tells that a font object in PostScript space has no (explict) entry to store kerning info: >Glyph metric information is also available separately >in the form of Adobe font metrics (AFM) and Adobe >composite font metrics (ACFM) files.
