- 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.
- Format used for saving large Photoshop documents over 30,000 by 30,000 pixels in size; supports images up to 300,000 by 300,000 pixels; to enable .psb support, check the "Enable Large Document Format" within the File Handling pane of the Photoshop Preferences window
