Definitions for "PFM"
Peak Fitting Module
peak flow meter. A small, portable, handheld device which measures how well the lungs are able to expel air, allowing people with asthma to detect airway narrowing and adjust medications accordingly.
The measurement of gas at a controlled elevated pressure without the use of an automatic correcting device to correct the volume for variation from base or contract pressure. This is accomplished by placing an accurate regulator upstream of the meter. Also known as Fixed Factor Measurement.
Postscript Font Metrics; Windows Type 1 font metrics
Printer font metric files are a Microsoft Windows standard. They are encountered frequently in archives that contain Type 1 fonts. Unfortunately, these archives occasionally fail to include AFM files, which are more standard outside of the Windows community. Even more unfortunately, PFM files do not contain all of the information that is in an AFM file. However, the PFM2AFM program can construct a partial AFM file. I believe that the PFM file format is described in a Microsoft technical note; however, I have never seen it. Unless you use Microsoft Windows, PFM files are likely to be useless. If you need PFM files, the MS-DOS program Refont can create them from AFM files.
