- 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.
- 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.
