- Description
- The TrueType Font Collection (TTC) file type is a container format that can hold multiple TrueType fonts (TTF) within a single file. This format is designed to optimize storage and sharing of font families or closely related fonts by combining them into a single file, reducing the overall file size compared to storing each TrueType font individually. TTC files are supported by various operating systems and software applications for desktop publishing and graphic design, allowing users to efficiently manage and use multiple fonts.
- 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.
