Hello Raghava,

Why would you need afm files in AIX? I am sure you know that you can 
just copy ttf files, edit xep.xml and get the same results in any OS, 
don't you?

If you really need afm files, then you most likely also need respective 
pfa or pfb files with outlines.

If it comes to converting TrueType to Type1, I must say I really doubt 
if any tool can generate Type1 metrics and outlines for all the glyphs 
in ArialUnicodeMS.

An yet another point: check boxes are usually created with one of Adobe 
Base 14 Type1 fonts. Please check is Symbol or ZapfDingbats suits your 
needs (every distribution of XEP contains samples you may wish to check 
in examples/charsets/).
