Hmm, shouldn't that be something like: either .pfb or .pfa  along with 
either .pfm  or .afm + .inf as a minimum for non OT postscript fonts?

The font glyph outlines are either in a pfb or a pfa file while the 
metrics, kerning and other info for the font are in the corresponding
pfm file or afm + inf files. So you need at least two or three files.

.pfa = postscript font ascii  (Type)
.pfb = postscript font binary (Type 1)

.pfm = printer font metrics
.afm = adobe font metrics
.inf = font information file
