#1 Amf -file parsing fails

[Petri Loukasmaki]

There seems to be a problem with amf file parsing. If some field in the amf header does not have
a
corresponding value to it, the parsing fails like
<pre>
File "C:\Python\reportlab\pdfbase\pdfmetrics.py", line 110, in parseAFMFile
left, right = string.split(line, ' ', 1)
ValueError: unpack list of wrong size
</pre>

This is due to the fact that parser assumes each header row containing exactly 2 fields. If the
second field is missing, this occurs. The parser should at least rise some exception like "incomplete
header information". Or, the parser might just silently ignore this incompleteness by inserting a
'None' -value to the missing component.

I have fixed by putting out a more approriate error message.
I doubt it would be wise to ignore or attempt to fix this
kind of format error.
