- Description
- 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.
- This is a format for storing and presenting text information. It’s also referred to as CID 2 and is basically used for imaging and creating complex fonts in PDF. It’s based on the TrueType system, but allows for more precise adjustment and allows for refined writing due to a 16-bit structure that is very important when displaying Asian language symbols.
