- 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.
- X-Motif UIL Table (UIL) is a plain text file format used by the User Interface Language (UIL) compiler, which is used for creating user interfaces for the X Window System. This format is used for defining menus, buttons, dialog boxes, and other components of graphical user interfaces. UIL files are written using a set of keywords and parameters that can be used to set up the visual elements of the user interface.
