- Description
- Created by Microsoft Web Embedding Fonts Tool (WEFT), OpenType Font (.otf) is embedded in a web page or PPS (PowerPoint presentation) file documents. This file is not meant to be manually opened and is saved with the related document.
- A WOFF (Web Open Font Format) file is a web font file format used for embedding fonts on websites. It is essentially a compressed version of a font designed to be compact and fast to load, making it highly suitable for use over the internet. WOFF files support metadata and font licensing information, ensuring that fonts can be legally used and distributed. The format is widely supported across modern web browsers, providing a standardized way to include custom fonts in web designs, thus enhancing the visual appearance and typography.
