- Description
- The .fnt format is a Windows bitmap font file that stores raster font data, including glyph bitmaps for each character at a specific size and resolution. It was commonly used in older Windows systems for displaying text in system UI and applications before TrueType fonts became standard. These files are typically paired with .fon container files.
- 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.
