Convert WOFF to CID

The WOFF (Web Open Font Format) file extension is a font file format used in web development. Introduced by the Web Fonts Working Group at W3C, it enhances web typography by enabling the use of custom fonts. WOFF files are compressed and include metadata, providing efficient loading and improved performance. Developed to address the limitations of standard font formats on the web, WOFF became a W3C Recommendation in 2012, ensuring broad compatibility across modern browsers. Its primary use is to deliver non-system fonts to users, offering a richer and more flexible typographic experience on websites.

The CID (Character Identifier) file extension, developed by Adobe, is used for CID-keyed fonts, which are composite (multibyte) Type 1 fonts designed to support large character sets, particularly for East Asian languages like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. These fonts address glyphs by number rather than name, allowing for efficient handling of extensive character sets. Introduced to meet the demands of the Far East markets, CID fonts facilitate high-quality digital typesetting and printing by leveraging the PostScript language.
