Why convert from TTF to PFM?

TTF contains both outline and metric data, while PFM stores only font metrics for PostScript printers. Converting TTF to PFM lets you use TrueType fonts in legacy print environments that require separate metric files, ensuring accurate character spacing without re-hinting outlines.

How does the conversion handle font attributes like kerning and hinting?

The conversion extracts and preserves kerning pairs, character advance widths, and bounding box values from the TTF's 'hmtx' and 'kern' tables into the PFM's metric structure. Hinting instructions are not carried over because PFM is metrics-only; outline data remains in the original TTF or a linked printer font.
