Windows Font Library (.fon)

The FON file extension is associated with an old font format from early Windows versions. As an executable-like file labeled as FON, it serves as a container for font collections, which are stored in the FNT format. Despite being outdated and replaced by scalable TrueType fonts, FON files remain supported for backward compatibility and are accessible through the Windows Font Viewer.

Printer Font Binary (.pfb)

The PFB (Printer Font Binary) file extension is associated with Adobe's Type 1 fonts, primarily used in Windows operating systems. These files store font data in a compact binary format, which includes glyph data and encryption for protection. Introduced in the 1980s, PFB files were part of Adobe's PostScript technology, enabling high-quality digital typesetting. They work alongside PFM (Printer Font Metrics) files, which contain character measurements. PFB files are essential for precise font rendering in professional printing and digital design.
