- 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.
- The Web Open Font Format 2.0 (WOFF2) file is a modern font format designed specifically for use on the web. It is an evolution of the WOFF format, offering improved compression and thus smaller file sizes, which enhances web performance by reducing the time it takes for fonts to load. WOFF2 supports the same customization and features as its predecessor, but with more efficient encoding and compression mechanisms.
