BDF (Glyph Bitmap Distribution Format) is a text-based file format for storing bitmap fonts, developed by Adobe. It encodes each glyph as a grid of pixels along with metadata such as character encoding, size, and spacing, using a human-readable ASCII format. It is commonly used on X Window System platforms for displaying bitmap fonts.
A Printer Font Binary (PFB) file is a type of font file used specifically in the context of Adobe Type 1 fonts. It stores font data in a binary format, which includes the glyph shapes and font metrics necessary for rendering text accurately on screens and in print. The PFB file is typically used in conjunction with a metric file (with an .AFM or .PFM extension) that provides additional layout information. This file format was widely used for high-quality typography on PostScript printers.
