AFM = Adobe Font Metrics. A text file containing information about a single font, and characters in it. It is easy to write a program to read an AFM file and use the information in it.
Your stategy of setting characters individually is good lateral thinking. The PDF will be a little larger than it needs to be, but overall it should work. You'd probably find you could do it word by word, rather than character by character.
To start with, you'll need to know what it says about fonts in the PDF Reference. Once you have that, you can follow references from it, but you may not need to go that deep. Also, on http://partners.adobe.com/ > Developer > Technotes > Fonts there are a lot of technical files - some useful, some not. Fonts are a huge subject, perhaps larger than the rest of PDF.
