- 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.
- A PS file is an image saved in the PostScript page description language. It may contain vector graphics, raster graphics, and text. PS files can be printed directly by a PostScript printer (i.e., containing a Raster Image Processor) without being opened in an application.
