- The PCS file format is associated with Pfaff sewing and embroidery machines. It is specifically designed to store embroidery design data that can be read and utilized by Pfaff-branded machines. A PCS file contains instructions on stitches, thread colors, and other design elements necessary for the machine to accurately recreate the embroidery pattern on fabric. This file format allows for the transfer and storage of embroidery designs, enabling users to share, edit, and manage their embroidery projects efficiently.
- A Printer Font Metrics (PFM) file is a type of file associated with Adobe Type 1 fonts used in Microsoft Windows. It contains metric information about a font, such as character widths, heights, and kerning pairs, which are essential for correctly displaying and printing text. The PFM file works in conjunction with a PFB (Printer Font Binary) file, which contains the actual font outline data.
