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.

PostScript Type 3 (.pt3)

The PT3 file extension stands for PostScript Type 3, a font format developed by Adobe Systems. Introduced in 1984, PostScript Type 3 fonts utilize the full PostScript language to define glyphs, allowing for advanced features like shading, color, and fill patterns. Unlike Type 1 fonts, Type 3 does not support hinting, which can affect rendering quality at smaller sizes. Despite its flexibility, Type 3 fonts are less commonly used today due to the rise of more advanced font technologies.
