- Description
- A CFF file is a bare Compact Font Format font program, the compact form of an Adobe PostScript Type 1 or CID-keyed font that uses Type 2 charstrings. It is the same data an OpenType font stores in its 'CFF ' table, without the surrounding OpenType wrapper, so it is usually extracted from or embedded into OTF fonts and PDF files.
- This is a format for presenting fonts in PDF files that was initially conceived to store symbols in the Japanese and Chinese languages because it had a 16-bit structure and allowed for more precise adjustment. CID expands the the potential for PostScript by supporting languages that do not have a left-to-right orientation, and by supporting even a vertical mode of orientation.
