- Description
- 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.
- A DOTM file is a Word Open XML Macro-Enabled Document Template used by Microsoft Word, part of the Microsoft Office suite. It is a template file that contains default layouts and settings for a document, including macros, which are small programs that automate repetitive tasks. Unlike standard Word templates (.dotx), which do not support macros, DOTM files enable users to include custom macros that can be executed within the document. This feature is particularly useful for creating standardized documents that require specific automated functions.
