- Description
- 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.
- Bitmap image generated by a Sun Microsystems workstation; native graphic format used by the Sun Unix operating system; uses a standard image format that can be read by several graphics programs.
