What is a OTF file?
OTF (OpenType Font) is a highly versatile font format developed jointly by Microsoft and Adobe. It builds on the TrueType and PostScript technologies, offering advanced typographic features like ligatures, alternate characters, and kerning pairs.
OTF is widely supported across all major platforms and is favored by designers and publishers for its flexibility and rich character sets. It can contain both TrueType and PostScript outlines in a single file.
How to open OTF files
OTF files can be opened and installed on Windows, macOS, and Linux using built-in system tools. They are supported by most modern design and word processing software.
If needed, use AnyConv to convert OTF files to TTF or WOFF for web or platform-specific compatibility.

What is a PFA file?
PFA (Printer Font ASCII) is a font format used in Adobe’s PostScript Type 1 font system. Unlike its binary counterpart PFB, PFA stores the font data in human-readable ASCII format.
PFA is mainly used in Unix and Linux environments where binary formats like PFB may not be compatible. It contains the same glyph information and works with systems that support Type 1 fonts.
How to open PFA files
PFA files can be opened in Unix-based systems and supported by applications like Ghostscript, FontForge, and other PostScript-compatible software.
To use in modern design tools, convert PFA to OTF or TTF using AnyConv or font editors.
