under dos &/or unix, you have getmetric that does a very good job
(found on ctan in the archive t1tools (or t1utils?)

someone told me too that there exist some tools from y&y that do this
kind of things. 

The usual disclaimer is that when you buy your fonts, you should be
able to ask for the afm (or it should be automatically supplied).
