Printer Font ASCII for Image (.pfa)

The PFA (Printer Font ASCII) file extension, developed by Adobe Systems, stores Adobe Type 1 fonts in a human-readable ASCII format, which can be converted to image files. Introduced as part of the PostScript character category in 1982, PFA files contain glyph data and can be opened in any text editor. They are primarily used on Linux and UNIX-like platforms and are incorporated into systems by copying them into the Fonts folder. The binary counterpart of PFA is the PFB (Printer Font Binary) file.

DEC Six Pixels (.sixel)

The SIXEL, or "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for their terminals and printers. Initially designed for DEC dot matrix printers like the LA50, it enabled the efficient transfer of bitmap graphics using a series of ASCII characters. Each character represents a 6-pixel high row, making it suitable for 7-bit serial communication. This format was later adapted for modern terminal emulators, extending its utility beyond its original scope.
