- 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.
 - A Printer Font Metrics (PFM) file is a type of file associated with Adobe Type 1 fonts used in Microsoft Windows. It contains metric information about a font, such as character widths, heights, and kerning pairs, which are essential for correctly displaying and printing text. The PFM file works in conjunction with a PFB (Printer Font Binary) file, which contains the actual font outline data.
