- 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 JPEG 2000 Code Stream (j2c) file format is a type of image file format that is part of the JPEG 2000 family of image standards. This format is specifically designed for encoding images in a highly efficient manner, allowing for both lossless (exact reproduction) and lossy (approximate) compression. The j2c format focuses on the core coding stream of JPEG 2000 images, representing the encoded image data without additional metadata or structure.
