That's not the problem.

During installation. ;-)

What sort of problems? It works for me.

These are not your choices. OS/2 can only install Type 1 fonts when you
provide a PFB and AFM. For the obvious reasons, many Type 1 fonts come
with only a PFB and PFM, which you have found the OS/2 installer can not
handle. There is a tool on Hobbes:

http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/multimedia/fonts/ps/pfm2afm.zip

that will generate a AFM from an PFM and it might work for you.

Note that the rules for the WINOS2 ATM differ since it is a Windows apps.
