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 Historically, DFONT was employed for system fonts like Courier and Helvetica, but it has been largely superseded by TrueType (TTF) and OpenType (OTF) formats.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.

Printer Font ASCII (.pfa)

The PFA (Printer Font ASCII) file extension represents a human-readable version of Adobe's Type 1 font, containing glyph data in ASCII format. Introduced by Adobe Systems, PFA files are used primarily in desktop publishing and graphic design to ensure precise font rendering. These files can be opened and edited with any text editor, making them versatile for font customization. Historically, PFA files were essential for PostScript printers, enabling accurate font reproduction. Today, they remain relevant for specific applications requiring detailed font manipulation.
