What is a PFA file?
A PFA file is an Adobe Type 1 font file that stores the outlines of characters in a font. It contains ASCII text that defines how each character in the font should appear when printed or displayed on a compatible device. PFA fonts are commonly used in desktop publishing, graphic design, and professional printing environments.
More Information
The PFA format supports high-quality text rendering and control over character shapes, which are vital for printed documents and professional design work. Users can install the font files in the system Fonts folder on Windows or macOS, where programs, such as Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop, can access them.
