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.

The CFF file extension, developed by Adobe Systems, is a high-efficiency font file format that consolidates multiple fonts into a unified FontSet. As a component of the PostScript suite, it's tailored for embedding fonts in PDFs and digital mediums. The CFF format's binary architecture facilitates the incorporation of PostScript code and intricate typographic capabilities, ensuring exceptional font visualization while enabling substantial file compression through subroutinization.
