- 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.
- Created by Microsoft Web Embedding Fonts Tool (WEFT), OpenType Font (.otf) is embedded in a web page or PPS (PowerPoint presentation) file documents. This file is not meant to be manually opened and is saved with the related document.
