About AFM files
AFM (Adobe Font Metrics) files are a type of font file used to store font metrics and kerning information for a typeface. They are used by applications such as Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Photoshop. AFM files are not easily readable by humans, and are generally not suitable for use in webpages or other applications that require font files to be in a standard format.
The most common way to convert AFM files is to use a font editor such as FontForge or FontLab Studio. These programs allow users to open AFM files and then save them in other formats, such as TrueType (.ttf) or OpenType (.otf). It is also possible to convert AFM files to other formats using command line tools such as FreeType and ttfautohint.
When converting AFM files, it is important to consider the font metrics and kerning information that is stored in the file. If this information is not properly preserved during the conversion process, the font may not display correctly in the target application. Additionally, some fonts may not be able to be converted at all, as the AFM format does not support certain features such as hinting or OpenType features.
Due to the challenges associated with converting AFM files, many users opt to use a free and easy online conversion website such as Convert.Guru. This website allows users to upload an AFM file and quickly convert it to a variety of other formats.
The AFM Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.
When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.
Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best AFM converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
