- 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.
- Adobe Encapsulated PostScript Interchange Format (EPI) is a vector image file format used to store and interchange vector graphics and text. It is an extension of the popular Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format and is used as a container for bitmap images and other data. EPIs are used for high-resolution printing and digital publishing.
