If you wish kerning data for a mac postscript font, you must find a font file containing a bitmap font with the same family and style as the postscript." Reading this, I went into the directory of the font in question, found the *.bmap file and ran `fondu -afm` on it. This created afm files for all the fonts in that family, each file including a "StartKernData" section with plenty of kerning data. So I feel closer...at least I know how to create afm files that include kerning data. But unfortunately, I still can't get these fonts to work with ConTeXt. It must have something to do with the font itself, as the SabonLT-Roman.afm and SabonLT-Roman.pfb I placed in the ~/.fonts directory are working fine.
