Create an object for a PostScript font. Handles ASCII (.pfa), binary (.pfb), and
T1 (.t1) font files, as well as ASCII (.afm) and binary (.pfm) metrics files.

.IP encode 4
.IX Item "encode"
Changes the encoding of the font from its default. Notice that the encoding
(\fInot\fR the entire font\*(Aqs glyph list) is shown in a PDF object (record), listing
256 glyphs associated with this encoding (\fIand\fR that are available in this 
font).
.IP afmfile 4
.IX Item "afmfile"
Specifies the location of the \fIASCII\fR font metrics file (.afm). It may be used
with either an ASCII (.pfa) or binary (.pfb) glyph file.
.Sp
