- 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.
- The XPM (X11 Pixmap Graphic) file format is a plain text file format used to store pixmap images, which are pixel-based graphics. It is designed for use with the X Window System, commonly used in Unix and Linux environments. XPM files define images in a structured format, using ASCII text to describe each pixel's color and location within the image. This format supports both monochrome and color images and allows for the definition of custom color palettes.
