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.
The OTB file extension, standing for "OpenType Bitmap", is a specialized format used in X11 for bitmap-only font files. It is a variant of the SFNT (scalable font) file format, tailored to store bitmap representations of fonts without vector outlines. Historically, OTB was developed to support the efficient rendering of fonts on systems with limited resources, ensuring the high-quality display of text. This format is particularly useful in environments where rendering performance is critical, such as older display systems or embedded systems.
