- Description
- A TTF file is a font file format created by Apple, but used on both Macintosh and Windows platforms. It can be resized to any size without losing quality and looks the same when printed as it does on the screen.
- 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.
