Hi experts,

Can i use .afm font files to solve my purpose?

if Yes then i have .afm files and i have mentioned these font file names in ppd files as in below format for example *font Draft 5 cpi:  Standard "(0001.006S)" Standard ROM
but these fonts are not shown in office writer. Where i have to copy .afm files so that these fonts are available in writer?
Sorry if i am asking foolish question. I am new to linux and CUPS so confused.

Thanks in advance.
