- 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.
- Type42 was based on the PostScript language for displaying TrueType fonts. It allows for printing all TrueType fonts on PostScript printers and allows for rasterization when displayed.
