- 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.
- UFO2 (Unified Font Object 2) is a file format used for storing digital font data. It is an open source format developed by Adobe that allows for easy exchange of font data between different programs. It stores font outlines, metrics, and other data in XML-based files.
