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.

Unified Font Object (.ufo)

The Unified Font Object (UFO) is an XML-based file format for digital fonts, developed by Tal Leming, Just van Rossum, and Erik van Blokland. First released in 2003, it is designed to be cross-platform, human-readable, and application-independent. UFO files store font data in a structured manner, allowing for easy data exchange and manipulation across different font editing tools. The format has evolved through several versions, with UFO 3 being the latest release in 2012.
