Are those new types or typos?
PBA? PBF?
So, to clarify, you advise that:
1. If I find a PFB file without an AFM, just use the PFB (i.e. link into
~/.fonts)
2. If I find a PFB with a partner AFM file, use both (i.e. link both into
~/.fonts)
3. If I find a PFA file without an AFM, just use the PFA
4. If I find a PFA with a partnet AFM, use both.
5. Ignore any and all PFM files.

Are these worth supporting? I don't think I have one on my entire Kubuntu
system. What would they be called? "Postscript fonts"?

Thanks, I had a look. There is no mention of pf* in that file at all. Kind of
confusing for me, but I'll read it a few times.
