- Description
- 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.
- DCX file is a multi-page image file developed by raster file or bitmap file formats. It is generated fro PCX files, so it has a small header that shows the .dcx then a sequence of .pcx data. Popularly used by applications to create and send multi-page fax files.
