I have no idea if these are suitable.

    $ pkgfile -vr '.*ttf.*42'
    extra/texlive-bin 2019.51075-2      /usr/bin/ttftotype42
    extra/texlive-bin 2019.51075-2      /usr/share/man/man1/ttftotype42.1.gz
    $ pkgfile -vr '.*ttf.*afm'
    extra/texlive-bin 2019.51075-2      /usr/bin/ttf2afm
    extra/texlive-bin 2019.51075-2      /usr/share/man/man1/ttf2afm.1.gz
    $

I'm using Arch Linux, but I assume the matching package on your distro
