Windows Font Library (.fon)

The FON file extension, part of the Windows Font Library, refers to a font library file used in Microsoft Windows 3.x. It is essentially an executable file renamed to FON, containing a collection of FNT files, which are bitmapped or stroked fonts. These files were used by applications to access system fonts. However, FON files are now obsolete, having been replaced by TrueType and OpenType fonts due to their limitations, such as the inability to resize fonts. The Microsoft Windows Font Viewer can open FON files.

Character Identifier Font (.cid)

The CID (Character Identifier) file extension, developed by Adobe, is used for CID-keyed fonts, which are composite (multibyte) Type 1 fonts designed to support large character sets, particularly for East Asian languages like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. These fonts address glyphs by number rather than name, allowing for efficient handling of extensive character sets. Introduced to meet the demands of the Far East markets, CID fonts facilitate high-quality digital typesetting and printing by leveraging the PostScript language.
