The Web Open Font Format (WOFF) is a font format for use in web pages. WOFF files are OpenType or TrueType fonts, with format-specific compression applied and additional XML metadata added. The two primary goals are first to distinguish font files intended for use as web fonts from fonts files intended for use in desktop applications via local ...
[3] [4] [5] However, multiple master fonts proved unpopular in consumer-facing use due to the difficulty of writing (or rewriting) consumer desktop publishing applications to support them, and because font designers have generally preferred to release fonts in specific weights and styles, as font files that have been individually fine-tuned ...
EOT font files can be created from existing TrueType font files using Microsoft's Web Embedding Fonts Tool (WEFT), and other proprietary and open source software (see “External links” below). The font files are made small in size by use of subsetting (only including the needed characters), and by data compression (LZ compression, part of ...
TeX font metric (TFM) is a font file format used by the TeX typesetting system. It is a font metric format, not an outline font format like TrueType , because it provides only the information necessary to typeset the font such as each character's width, height and depth.
The Bauer Bodoni typeface, with samples of the three of the fonts in the family: Roman (or regular), bold, and italic.. In metal typesetting, a font (American English) or fount (Commonwealth English) is a particular size, weight and style of a typeface, defined as the set of fonts that share an overall design.
Data conversions may be as simple as the conversion of a text file from one character encoding system to another; or more complex, such as the conversion of office file formats, or the conversion of image formats and audio file formats. There are many ways in which data is converted within the computer environment.
The potential existed to provide the same storage and glyph-count benefits to fonts that use CFF-format glyphs (.otf extension). But the specification did not explicitly allow for that. In 2014, Adobe announced the creation of OpenType Collections (OTCs), a Collection font file that combines fonts that use CFF-format glyphs. [25]
Fontconfig uses XML format for its configuration files. The document type definition (DTD) for fontconfig files is normally located at /etc/fonts/fonts.dtd.. The master configuration file - usually /etc/fonts/fonts.conf - references a few other configuration locations which may or may not exist:
