- An OTF file is a font file saved in the OpenType format developed by Adobe and Microsoft. It combines aspects of the PostScript and TrueType font formats. OTF fonts are fully scalable, meaning the characters can be resized without losing quality.
- A Printer Font ASCII (PFA) file is a type of font file used in the context of desktop publishing and digital typesetting. It contains font data in an ASCII text format, which includes descriptions of the font's characters, glyphs, and other typographic details. PFA files are part of the PostScript font format, designed for use in the Adobe PostScript printing language. These files allow for the scalable rendering of text, meaning they enable fonts to be resized without losing quality.
