- Description
- PCF (Portable Compiled Format) is a binary bitmap font format used by the X Window System. It stores pre-rasterized glyphs for fast loading and rendering, making it efficient for display servers. PCF fonts are commonly used for console and legacy X11 application fonts.
- PostScript Type 3 consists of glyphs defined using the full PostScript language, rather than just a subset. Because of this, a Type 3 font can do some things that Type 1 fonts cannot do, such as specify shading, color, and fill patterns.
