I have no idea if these are suitable.
$ pkgfile -vr '.*ttf.*42'
extra/texlive-bin 2019.51075-2 /usr/bin/ttftotype42
extra/texlive-bin 2019.51075-2 /usr/share/man/man1/ttftotype42.1.gz
$ pkgfile -vr '.*ttf.*afm'
extra/texlive-bin 2019.51075-2 /usr/bin/ttf2afm
extra/texlive-bin 2019.51075-2 /usr/share/man/man1/ttf2afm.1.gz
