This is a standard TrueType font format developed by Apple Computer in 1989. The advantage of TTF till now has been its high level of font display control right up to the pixel. It has a vector format so it’s easy to scale. Today TrueType is used in operating systems from Apple to Microsoft.

TrueType Font

This is a format for storing raster images, developed by the Ulead Company. It can include several edible layers, like in a Photoshop document. The image raster format was transferred to the TrueType font system and allows for the presentation of graphical information in a text format.

Unified Font Object

This was created for the Mac OS X operating system. Unlike the old operating environment versions, the font is stored in the thread of a data file instead of in resource threads. It’s been used as a container for TrueType fonts since 2009 after the release of Mac OS X 10.6, and is gradually replacing the TrueType Collection.

Mac dfont

This was developed by the Adobe Company and contains data regarding the metric characteristics of Type 1 PostScript fonts. The AFM structure requires a control template that defines the look of every font symbol. It’s used primarily for UNIX.

Adobe Font Metrics

It belongs to TrueType and OpenType font formats and has analog compression that stores rendering technology. In WOFF it’s possible to store individual metadata with font info. It’s been used since 2010 for the main purpose of storing and transferring fonts on the Internet. It was developed by the Mozilla Foundation.

Web Open Font Format

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. All changes in font structure occur with PostScript procedures. It supports multibyte TrueType fonts in Chinese, Korean and Japanese.

Type42

This is an archive file used on Macintosh computers. It stores branched resources and data in the file system as one file. It includes the storage of fonts and convenient loading of data with Macintosh to the Internet to be transferred to other Mac devices. It’s used to import PostScript Type 1 program language data.

PostScript Type 1 (MacBin)

This format is used to store templates and designs in PageMaker 3. PT3 allows for a set of font descriptions, and for the layout and graphical elements to be stored in PostScript Type 3 format. This container is used as an editable file to meet publishing needs, and was created in a program for the PageMaker layout.

PostScript Type 3

A format for displaying and storing OpenType fonts. It can be scaled without losing font quality. Today the OTF library has more than 10 thousand fonts. Practically all fonts known today have an OpenType version. The format was based on Postscript and supports Unicode. It was initially developed by Microsoft, but today it belongs to Adobe.

OpenType (CFF) Font

This is a 7-bit font format used for directly downloading to a PostScript printer. It has two character encoding in hexadecimal. It has good compatibility with multiple font formats. PFA contains an outline for font symbols and is formatted in ASCII text data.

PostScript Type 1

This is a format for presenting fonts in PDF files that was initially conceived to store symbols in the Japanese and Chinese languages because it had a 16-bit structure and allowed for more precise adjustment. CID expands the the potential for PostScript by supporting languages that do not have a left-to-right orientation, and by supporting even a vertical mode of orientation.

Adobe CID Fonts

This is a format for compact font storage in the OpenType system, allowing for the rasterization of text information. It differs from TrueType in its abilities to describe font symbols and with its font structure variation algorithm, depending on the change in size. CFF allows for increased screen clarity with high resolution, but this is not due to the font, but its rasterization.

CFF (Bare)

This is a format for storing raster and vector fonts created or changed in FontForge. By opening an SFD file in this program you can store it in any modern font format like TrueType or OpenType. SFD contains all the information about the point setting of each symbol created or changed in FontForge.

Spline Font Database

This is a format for storing and presenting text information. It’s also referred to as CID 2 and is basically used for imaging and creating complex fonts in PDF. It’s based on the TrueType system, but allows for more precise adjustment and allows for refined writing due to a 16-bit structure that is very important when displaying Asian language symbols.

Type11 (CID 2)

This format was developed to simplify use of Type1-fonts in some software. It’s 8-bit and so it’s quickly processed by programs and it has a compact structure. PFB contains additional metadata. Besides the storage of system fonts, a good example of its use is its application in AutoCAD to create font files with compilation.
