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 SFD (Spline Font Database) file extension is primarily used by FontForge, a font editing software. SFD files are ASCII-based, making them human-readable and easily transferable across the internet. They store comprehensive font data, including outlines, character data, and bitmap fonts. Introduced by FontForge, SFD files have evolved to support multiple layers and complex font features. This format facilitates detailed font design and editing, ensuring compatibility across various operating systems.
