you dont. tfm is just metrics, ttf is the actual font

TeX reads .tfm files to find out how big letters are. SOme other
program, like a driver, reads PK, Type1, TrueType etc to actually
render the letters.

spell out your problem more precisely! and dont mail TDS - thats for
discussion of a directory layout standard
