- 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.
- The ICB file format, standing for Targa ICB Bitmap Image, is a type of image file associated with the Targa (Truevision Advanced Raster Graphics Adapter) image format. Targa files, including ICB, are known for their versatility in handling various types of digital images, including color, grayscale, and monochrome. The ICB variant is part of a broader family of Targa formats, which are often used in professional environments for digital video editing, animation, and graphic design.
