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.
