Missing or Invalid AFM Files
t1lib heavily relies on AFM information every time the relative position
of bitmaps is of importance. Because AFM information is of high resolution,
accumulating positioning errors are avoided in contrast to what the X11 text
drawing functions do. On the other hand, there are many freely available
Type 1 font programs that come without AFM files. This problem has been
addressed in t1lib 0.5. t1lib is now able to generate AFM information
on the fly and it even can generate AFM files from Type 1 font files.
