- 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.
- UBRL6 (Unicode Braille 6 dots) is a text encoding format that uses a 6 dot braille cell to represent characters, symbols, and punctuation marks. It is used to convert text into a tactile code system that can be read by visually impaired individuals.
