Font description file.  It looks like just about all of them have it.
Example:

name R
fontname Times-Roman
named in prologue
ligatures fi fl 0
spacewidth 25
charset
!       33      2       33
"       41      2       34
dq      "
#       50      2       35
$       50      2       36
%       83      2       37
&       78      2       38
'       33      2       39
(       33      3       40
)       33      3       41
*       50      2       42
+       56      0       43
