The AFM directive specifies where the font metric files are. If the files
are not available, X metrics will be used instead which will be less precise.

The optional PFB directive specifies where the font files are. A font
that is not already installed on the printer must be included in the
printout, which is what this directive accomplishes. In the example,
Times2 is a Latin2 equivalent of Times. This is necessary because
Latin2 glyphs are not included in most standard fonts.

The afm and pfb files are by default installed in the directory
${prefix}/share/siag/common/fonts.
