- 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.
- This is a format for storing and presenting text information. It’s also referred to as CID 2 and is basically used for imaging and creating complex fonts in PDF. It’s based on the TrueType system, but allows for more precise adjustment and allows for refined writing due to a 16-bit structure that is very important when displaying Asian language symbols.
