About CFF (.CFF)
CFF files are associated with Compact Font Format, which is a font file format used primarily for scalable fonts. It allows for efficient storage of font data, making it popular in printing and graphic design applications. The format was developed as part of Adobe’s efforts to create more compact and versatile font files. This format is widely supported in PostScript and PDF documents.
Technical Details
Technically, CFF files store outline font data using cubic Bézier curves to define character shapes. The format uses a compact binary encoding that reduces file size while maintaining high-quality rendering. CFF supports subroutines within the font data to minimize redundancy, improving efficiency. It is designed to be compatible with PostScript interpreters, making it essential in professional typesetting and digital printing workflows.
Additional Information & Use Cases
CFF fonts are often embedded in PDFs and PostScript files to ensure consistent text rendering across different systems. They support advanced typographic features like ligatures and multiple character sets. An interesting fact is that CFF is closely related to the Type 2 font format and is a successor to Adobe's earlier Type 1 fonts. Many modern font technologies, including OpenType, incorporate CFF data to optimize performance.
