- Description
- A Printer Font Binary (PFB) file is a type of font file used specifically in the context of Adobe Type 1 fonts. It stores font data in a binary format, which includes the glyph shapes and font metrics necessary for rendering text accurately on screens and in print. The PFB file is typically used in conjunction with a metric file (with an .AFM or .PFM extension) that provides additional layout information. This file format was widely used for high-quality typography on PostScript printers.
- CIP is a proprietary image format developed by Cisco Systems for its IP phones. It is used to store images, backgrounds, icons, and logos, and is optimized for use on Cisco IP phones. It is not compatible with other image formats.
