Getting PostScript fonts and metrics for CUPS

| I am new to PostScript so please bear with me.
What I am looking to do is make a function to select a PostScript font
similar to the X function XftFontOpen(). The reason is to get the font
metrics before generating the PostScript file. I was thinking about
scanning the *.afm files but I don't know the directory I should be looking
in. I need to send the PostScript file to CUPS running in Linux.
Thanks in advance,
Charlie

See http://xprint.mozdev.org/ - that's a Xserver which can generate PDL
output (e.g. PostScript, PCL, PDF etc.) based on normal X11 or OpenGL
rendering instructions (including fonts) ...
