Type1 Font Viewer

• pfm: Printer/Postscript Font Metrics file format, a binary version of afm(Adobe Font Metrics) file
• pfa: Printer/Postscript Font Ascii file format, the Ascii version of pfb file
• pfb: Printer/Postscript Font Binary format

Postscript Type 1 fonts contain descriptions(charStrings) of the character shapes(glyphs), with each character being generated by a small program that calls on other small programs to construct the path of the characters in the font.

In both Pfa and Pfb files, the charaStrings are encoded and encrypted.

The glyphs are "drawn" on a 1000x1000 square(em square, character unit space).
