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.
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.
