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.

Data Fork Font (.dfont)

The DFONT file extension stands for "Data Fork Font", a format used in Mac OS X (now macOS). Introduced to replace the older resource fork-based TrueType fonts, DFONT consolidates all font data into the data fork, enhancing compatibility with the OS X file system. Historically, DFONT was employed for system fonts like Courier and Helvetica, but it has been largely superseded by TrueType (TTF) and OpenType (OTF) formats. DFONT files are specific to macOS and cannot be used on Windows or Linux systems.
