TeX font metric files contain information about fonts. TeX doesn't know anything about the intrinsic shape of the characters that it lays down on the page. TeX deals entirely with boxes. Every character is described by the rectangular box that (usually) surrounds it. The TFM file for a font describes the size of each character's box, as well as ligature and kerning information for the font. A human-readable version of a TFM file can be produced with the TFtoPL program. The format of TFM files is described thoroughly in the \web documentation for TFtoPL. If you have reason to modify a TFM file, you will almost certainly do so by converting it to PL format first. You can convert it back into a TFM file with the PLtoTF utility. See also HPTFM files.
