- 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.
- IPL is popularly used to store 3D applications or computer games graphic texture images. It is also used as a Pantone Spot reference palette in CorelDRAW to apply colours to editable elements.
