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.
