- 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.
- The Visualization Image File Format (VIFF) is a specialized file format designed for storing image data. It is primarily used in scientific and technical applications where complex visualization of multi-dimensional data is required. VIFF files can store various types of data including grayscale, color, and multi-spectral images, making them suitable for tasks such as image processing, medical imaging, and remote sensing. This format supports a range of metadata, allowing for the inclusion of information about the image data, such as dimensions and color.
