I am not sure if one /has/ to provide them, but it would definitly be
good to do so. BTW, which fonts have no afm files? Right now only the
bluesky fonts come to my mind. However, I don't think that it makes
sense to make these available to X11. I would be really surprised if any
application besides TeX could make proper use of OT1 or OML encoded
fonts.
