'''Compact Font Format''' (also known as, '''CFF''' font format, '''Type 2''' font format, or, '''CFF/Type 2''' font format,) is a font format specification developed by [[Adobe Systems|Adobe]]. It occupies less storage space than [[Type 1 font]]s. Storage space usage is lowered by using operators with multiple arguments, various pre-defined default values, more efficient allotment of encoding values and shared subroutines among FontSet (family of fonts). [[OpenType]] fonts can also contain glyph outlines in a CFF table. |
|||
CFF is designed to use with the Type 2 charstring format. It forms the basis for the Type 1 OpenType font format. |
|||
CFF fonts can be embedded in [[Portable Document Format|PDF]] files, starting with PDF version 1.2. Type 2 charstring font format and [[CID-keyed font]] format can be used together for CID-keyed OpenType fonts. |
|||
[[Windows Presentation Foundation]] (formerly codenamed Avalon) in [[Windows Vista]] supports rasterizing OpenType CFF/Type 2 fonts, whereas [[Type 1 font]]s will still be supported in [[GDI+]]. |
