- Description
- A WOFF (Web Open Font Format) file is a web font file format used for embedding fonts on websites. It is essentially a compressed version of a font designed to be compact and fast to load, making it highly suitable for use over the internet. WOFF files support metadata and font licensing information, ensuring that fonts can be legally used and distributed. The format is widely supported across modern web browsers, providing a standardized way to include custom fonts in web designs, thus enhancing the visual appearance and typography.
- Group 4 (G4) used for black and white lossless compression to maintain high-quality images, commonly used in TIFF format compression by fax machines. A picture is seen as black dots and lines on a blank page; the fewer the dots and lines are, the lesser the file size.
