What are PFB files and how to open them

Are you having problems opening a PFB file or are you simply curious about its contents? We're here to explain the properties of these files and provide you with software that can open or handle your PFB files.

What is a PFB file?

A .PFB file is an Adobe PostScript Type 1 Font file.

PFB is an acronym for Printer Font Binary, and these files contain Adobe Type 1 Fonts in binary form for use on Windows PCs.

PFB files are similar to PFA files, but unlike PFA files, PFB files have been encoded in a binary file format and are encrypted. To use a PFB font file, you must have the associated PFM file stored in the same system Fonts folder as the PFB file.
