The PFM file works in conjunction with a PFB (Printer Font Binary) file, which contains the actual font outline data.
- Raster image based on the Targa Truevision format; can store data up to 32 bits per pixel, with 24 bits for the RGB information and 8 bits for the alpha channel; may also incorporate lossless RLE compression to reduce the file size.
