- Description
- The .fon format is a Windows font resource file that stores bitmap (raster) fonts or acts as a container referencing font data for use by older Windows applications. It is commonly used for legacy screen fonts, especially fixed-size bitmap fonts used in older Windows GUI elements and MS-DOS era applications. Modern Windows systems retain support for .fon files mainly for backward compatibility with legacy software.
- This is a format for storing and presenting text information. It’s also referred to as CID 2 and is basically used for imaging and creating complex fonts in PDF. It’s based on the TrueType system, but allows for more precise adjustment and allows for refined writing due to a 16-bit structure that is very important when displaying Asian language symbols.
