- 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.
- Type42 was based on the PostScript language for displaying TrueType fonts. It allows for printing all TrueType fonts on PostScript printers and allows for rasterization when displayed.
