Convert PFA GRAPHICS to FITS

The PFA (Printer Font ASCII) file extension, developed by Adobe Systems, stores Adobe Type 1 fonts in a human-readable ASCII format, which can be converted to image files. Introduced as part of the PostScript character category in 1982, PFA files contain glyph data and can be opened in any text editor. They are primarily used on Linux and UNIX-like platforms and are incorporated into systems by copying them into the Fonts folder. The binary counterpart of PFA is the PFB (Printer Font Binary) file.

The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) file extension is widely utilized in the field of astronomy for storing, transmitting, and manipulating scientific data and images. Originating in the late 1970s, FITS was developed by NASA and the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to standardize the format for astronomical data. Its primary use is to archive astronomical images, spectral data, and other multidimensional data arrays, enabling efficient data interchange among scientists and astronomers. FITS files are known for their ability to store metadata and large datasets, making them essential for detailed scientific analysis and long-term preservation in research environments.
