Phil, Plese correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the horizontal metrics in the AFM file simply reflect the sbw or hsbw commands that are required at the start of each CharString? For example, when I open a .pfb file, isolated from its .afm, in FontForge, and look at individual characters, I get values for left side bearing and for width that are consistent with the values in the afm file for that font. This is why I'm puzzled by the differences in Java2D. These difference make for great difficulties in using 2D to measure text which will be rendered by some other renderer.
