- 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 TrueType Font Collection (TTC) file type is a container format that can hold multiple TrueType fonts (TTF) within a single file. This format is designed to optimize storage and sharing of font families or closely related fonts by combining them into a single file, reducing the overall file size compared to storing each TrueType font individually. TTC files are supported by various operating systems and software applications for desktop publishing and graphic design, allowing users to efficiently manage and use multiple fonts.
