The PFA (Printer Font ASCII) file extension represents a human-readable version of Adobe's Type 1 font, containing glyph data in ASCII format. Introduced by Adobe Systems, PFA files are used primarily in desktop publishing and graphic design to ensure precise font rendering. These files can be opened and edited with any text editor, making them versatile for font customization. Historically, PFA files were essential for PostScript printers, enabling accurate font reproduction. Today, they remain relevant for specific applications requiring detailed font manipulation.
CFF, or Compact Font Format, is a file extension used in computer technology for efficient storage of font data. CFF was developed as part of Adobe's PostScript technology to streamline font file sizes while maintaining high-quality vector graphics. Its primary use is in embedded systems, print, and digital media, providing a compact and versatile format for typefaces. The history of CFF dates back to the early 1990s when it was introduced to address the need for more efficient font management in professional publishing and graphic design environments.
