Convert CID to OTB FONT

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 OTB file extension, standing for "OpenType Bitmap", is a specialized format used in X11 for bitmap-only font files. It is a variant of the SFNT (scalable font) file format, tailored to store bitmap representations of fonts without vector outlines. Historically, OTB was developed to support the efficient rendering of fonts on systems with limited resources, ensuring the high-quality display of text. This format is particularly useful in environments where rendering performance is critical, such as older display systems or embedded systems.
